CANDLE MAKING SAFETY
It is imperative to have a working fire extinguisher nearby at all times! It must be the chemical kind, not the water kind. Never put water on a wax fire, it will only spread the flames. Sand or baking soda can be thrown on a wax fire also. I recommend wearing safety glasses, a heat & liquid resistant apron, as well as gloves when making candles. Better safe than sorry.
