Abstract
A wax core is dipped multiple times in liquid clear wax and water sequentially. Thereafter, the candle is dipped multiple times in a liquid pigmented wax to form a first pigmented layer. When the desired shade is achieved, one or more layers of clear wax is added. The cooled pigmented wax layer with a clear layer on top is then dipped in water multiple times to produce a primed surface layer at ±1 degree ambient. The candle is now rubbed to assist the peeling of any layer over the primed surface. Multiple layers of clear wax are then added followed by a second pigmented wax. The process is repeated for as many pigmented wax layers as desired. The final candle has a glaze outer layer applied by dipping.
Claims7
A process for producing a decorative candle having multiple pigmented layers, the process comprising:
- (a) dipping a wax core containing a wick into a liquid clear wax multiple times in sequence with dipping the wax ball core in water;
- (b) dipping the wax core coated by the process of step (a) into a first liquid pigmented wax multiple times in sequence with dipping in water to form a pigmented wax ball;
- (c) dipping the pigmented wax ball in step (b) in a liquid clear wax and cooling the ball to about ambient temperature;
- (d) rubbing an outer surface of the ball to form a primed layer;
- (e) dipping the ball of step (d) multiple times in the liquid clear wax followed by dipping in water;
- (f) dipping the ball of step (e) into a second liquid pigmented wax multiple times followed in sequence by dipping in water;
- (g) dipping the pigmented wax ball containing the second pigmented wax in a liquid clear wax and cooling the ball to about ambient temperature to form a second primed layer;
- (h) dipping the ball of step (g) multiple times in clear wax followed in sequence by dipping in water;
- and
- (i) decorating the ball of step (h) by peeling the second pigmented layer away in desired patterns.
