The  candle  making  has  been  practiced  and  despite  the introduction of mass production methods, candles can still be made by  well-established methods  which require only simple equipment. Much of this equipment can be made by rural craft men.

     A candle is simply a solid cylinder of tallow, wax or other solid fat, containing a wick to give off light when burning. When the wick is lit, the flame radiates sufficient heat to melt a small pool of wax at the top of the candle. The liquid wax is then drawn up the wick by capillary action into the flame where it is vaporized and burnt. The size of the flame is important and should be related to the diameter of the candle.

    If the wick used is too thick, it will cause, a large flame which generates so much heat that it prevents the formation  of the bowl of molten fuel by melting the outer edge.  On the  other hand, if a wick which is too small is used, the small flame cannot generate  enough heat to form a proper reservoir of molten  fuel, as the heat radiated will not reach the edge of the candle  until it  is  so far down that it will go out through lack  of  oxygen.  the wick size, therefore, must be related to the diameter of  the candle (as well as to the type of fuel).  Although a rough  guide
to wick size is given later on in this profile, the only was  is to provide a good candle is by trial and error.
                                   
     The main purpose of the wax is to provide the fuel for the flame so the burning characteristics of the wax are extremely important.  A good candle wax should produce a candle which burns steadily, lasts for a long time, produces very little, smoke and gives a good quality light.  In addition, candle wax has other functions.   It  must be rigid enough to support the  wick  in  a vertical  position; it must be suitable for processing by one  of the   various  candle  making  techniques;  and  it   must   look attractive.
