Cappuccino Brulee Coffee Mug Candle

18. As the wax starts to cool make sure to continually poke air holes with a bamboo skewer.

19. When the wax seems firm enough to handle the final pour, fill the remainder of the mold with the brown wax (figure K).

20. Continue to poke air holes until the holes reamin open. Place the candle mold in the refrigerator to speed cooling.

21. Check the candle periodically to make sure the air holes have not closed. This process is crucial until the candle is thoroughly cooled. If the air is not allowed to escape the candle may become distorted.

22. When the sides of the candle contract away from the walls of the mold (becomes loose), fill up the air holes with hot wax. Be careful and spoon this wax on instead of pouring. The wax should just fill the holes to the top. Do not allow the wax to drip over the sides.

24. Dampen a paper towel and wipe the residual cooking spray from around the candle. Wipe the top of the candle and around the wick to remove any excess plumber’s putty.

25. Mix the paints with a small dot of the liquid dish soap. The liquid soap will help the paint adhere to the candle.

27. Wait at least two days before burning the coffee mug candle. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
