Candles have been with us for as long as we can remember. The candle industry in the USA alone was worth over $7 billion in 2020 and it is set to almost double by 2028. That said, candles are expensive so many people are looking to make their candles at home to rightly save a huge amount of money. But what about time? What can we do to save time when candlemaking?
You need to get a wax melter for candle-making. What is a wax melter? It’s a specialized piece of equipment that looks like a slow cooker but has the ability to heat up wax to the required temperature quickly and safely. This means your candles are always made to the right temperature to guarantee quality and consistency.
So where can I get one? And what is the best wax melter for candles?
