This book was so helpful to me. I wanted to make candles and I didn't know a thing! It was easy to understand and it answered all my questions! I now know enough to actually start making my own candles!
Very well written.

This was a very well written book. I have been trying to make candles for about a year, now. The book answered alot of my questions and explained why I have been having problems with certain kinds of candles. I recommend this book very strongly.

This is a wonderful , well-written book that is so very easy to understand! I found that the math formulas in the text made the process very simple to understand! Ms. Oppenheimer has a light-hearted way of informing that conveys her love of the craft while somehow managing to let you know that she was once a novice too! I have read MANY candlemaking texts in recent months and if you buy this one....you will not need to seek any further! Kimberli Witkowski....KandelKat Kreations. [email protected]
