We have replaced the beeswax coating for wick with a 100% natural wick wax. This is a much better option as sometimes soy wax candles were being left with a yellow mark as a result of melting beeswax off the wick. We do now have a wick assembling machine but it is fully booked already for wholesale work so we now have no idea when we will be able to offer a custom assembled wick service (maybe we need another machine) so for now we will have to stick with the cut lengths of waxed wick and you will have to fit the sustainers yourself.

Guide to making votive moulds
At last we have added a candle making guide to the website
Many people have asked about making votive candles in particular and it has been a long time since any of us have had the time to sit and put together a little guide. I am amazed that we even have images though they are maybe not as good a quality as they should be, maybe I can persuade someone to make somemore votive candles and take pictures while they are doing it.
I hope the guide is of some use to anybody thinking of making candles as a hobby and I intend there being more guides in the near future. If anyone has anything to add to the guides or would like to offer one please contact me.

A New Start
For 2007 i have decided to keep up with the blog and post as often as i can with any news or other items i have. You are welcome to leave any questions or observations. For 2007 the 4Candles website will be adding a range of glassware for candle making, a local glassmaker has put together a very nice range for us and all being well we will start to add it to the website at the end of January.
The Inpex dye blocks have been an amazing hit and i thank you for all the positive feedback about the dye blocks. We will be adding new colours to the range over January, February, and March.
The aluminium moulds have also gone really well so we will be adding more to that range.
There any many other things in the pipeline for this summer so keep checking back.
We have added a RSS feed which is at the bottom of the homepage which will be used to notify of any changes that have just happened on the site or are just about to happen.
The newsletter has not been used very often and for those of you who like to recieve news through it i appologise and as part of my New years resolution i have vowed to make the blog, rss feed, and the newsletter a bigger priority.
Thank you to all customers for 2006 and i wish you all well in 2007; have a great Xmas
