"Inquiries" #2 ,Three Proccesses of Making Candles, June 17, 2009

This was supposed to be for Monday. The three different ways of making candles all use different types of wax. I learned something new! Rolling is when you take some beeswax and roll it up into a candle with string inside. You can't take any old beeswax, however. You have to make a sort of bendy piece of paper, except with wax. Dipping is when you dip the string into melted wax, which is actually oil. We did this, except the candle was already made. We just colored it. Molding it is when you pour wax into a can thing with the string in it. Then you have a candle when it cools. I am getting better at typing with this strange keyboard! That was for no reason (though I am getting better at it).
