Afraid not. Classed as the most difficult but finding what it is seems to be the difficult element!!

In John Gibson's really helpful 'Honey Show Classes' he indicates a hierarchy of candles for show with poured being the hardest, then dipped, then moulded (glass/plastic) and finally silicone. My question is what is a poured candle?

Thanks for your response. Replies to date not really what I was looking for! I appreciate it!

Using a Bain-Marie. Usual process. Using 3M 4251+, which I use for sublimation, the problem goes away!

I wondered if anyone had developed a severe cough after making bees wax candles? Is so, besides not making candles, what 'gas mask' would you recommend?

What a load of nonsense. Yorkshire water is the finest in the country making the best Yorkshire Tea. Brilliant taken in the right spirit. We send all our reject undrinkable water to London.

It only goes at one speed. Extremely fast even though the controller says low to high…it only does high!

Sorry went too quickly! The Thornes site says British manufacturer. Extremely high margin and misrepresented. Even their picture is different…

Just bought one of these. Bolted it to the floor. Put 3 loaded National super frames in. Within 5 seconds had wrecked all 3 with motor going at a phenomenal speed. Cost £350. On Alibaba it costs $120! Some mark up. Made in China even though the Thornes site
