Abstract:
A method for making a decorative candle of various external shapes and multiple colors in a single step wherein the multiple colors extend through the radius of the candle without the use of a mold, comprising the steps of:supporting a wax reservoir, having a bottom and sides, containing liquid wax in a heated cradle, having a bottom and sides, above a waterproof box, having a bottom and sides, with an open top which is filled with heated water and a heated guide tube to convey the liquid wax so that it falls into the water;accumulating the liquid wax as it falls through the water on a base plate, which is manipulated in the horizontal, vertical, and rotational planes to build the liquid wax as it cools around a wick stretched from a hole in the center of the base plate to a wick support arm directly above;controlling the rate and shape of the liquid wax build-up around the wick by adjusting the temperature of the liquid was and the water, thus controlling the rate of cooling of the liquid wax to solid form;changing the wax reservoir during the candle formation to a wax reservoir holding a different color liquid wax, and performing the accumulating and controlling steps again;removing the new candle from the base plate.
