You will also gain control over dye and appearance choices, learning how color and opacity change the visual finish without compromising burn quality.

To help you get consistent results, the course walks you through pouring, cooling, and curing practices that improve texture and scent strength. You will learn troubleshooting for common candle problems like frosting, sinkholes, tunneling, and smoking, with a focus on identifying causes and applying practical fixes.
