I am looking to make pillar candles with children. Will this work and if so how many small pillar candles can be made with 10 lbs.

This wax is meant for making container candles and not pillars. This is because the wax is soft and flows when the candle is burning, if left outside a container it'll spill everywhere and make a mess. For pillars, try paraffin or palm wax, or some other pillar blend wax.

I work in stoneware clay mostly. But have worked in Sculpty clay as well. How much of this to buy for your class depends on how many in the classroom? I would offer some advice about the white or terra cotta Sculpty clay and that is to buy their larger blocks or switch & try air dry clay. It can't be painted as when dry & adding paint, the wet paint will mix with the clay and make muted colors. It can be bought in White or terra cotta, the latter to which I would use. How much to buy of any clay or polymer has much to do with how many children in the class & the ages, due to hand size. I would buy a package and test it out on a student to see how much you will need for the entire class. Air Dry clay is sold at most craft stores or online like the Sculpty Clay is. You don't have to oven bake the air-dry clay. Hope I helped you some? ~Molly Martino

I am using it for my pillar candle which is big. I think it would be too thick for tealight candle~! ;-)

Not sure where those diamentions came from but they are a bit smaller than that. I don't have them any more (gave them away after a special event) but as I recall, they were about 1/2 the size. It may be that they are quoting the total size of the box and if you divide that by the quantity of candles, it will probably be close to their size. Sorry I can't be of more help.

If the candle is wide and heavy, it won't be a problem. We use a glass base candle without any problem. Hope this help!

A little less than 2"... they are great for lanterns or candle holders that are very small "mouthed". The timer on the candle(s) is different from the timers on other flameless candles that I've purchases so I'm guessing that's the problem with those who have never seen this type of timer function before. It's a push button type and if you want the candle "on", just push the button once and do the same to turn it off. If you want the timer function turned on, you must press and hold the button until the candle "blinks" one time, then release the button. That activates the automatic 5-hour timer mode. I've been using mine for nearly a year now and have only had to change the 2 "AA" batteries three times.

10lbs is probably way too much. Not sure on the weight but it comes with enough to put in it, so any additional isn't necessary. You aren't supposed to cover the metal completely in order for the flame to work. However, if you want to get a particular type of glass and mix or use it instead, you can you'll just have a whole lot left over. The great thing about the glass is that it can be used over and over. When it starts loosing it's shine, you just need to clean the pieces.

WAYYYYYY too powerful for a candle lighter. I use it for soldering sterling silver. Using it for candles us overkill. Get a butane fireplace lighter for candles.

We have the 10 inch one and it is great for kids and adults. I think the bigger one would be harder for little.

Well I too have had two kids and this is where I started. They work great for me. I looked and read a lot about the different sizes and weights and was very happy with this size and weight. I would recommend these for you to start with for sure.

It's a pretty powerful little tool. I'm sure it would work to light candles, but honestly, I think you should keep looking for something else.

You can lift about 10 pounds with one balloon. Just don't over fill them or they will become too easily broken. Bon voyage, Grandma!!

Yes you can build a few of the smaller ones. I find its best to have 2 sets. I have these for my kids at home, and some for school (I'm a teacher) all the kids love them!

I purchased this last year , I got two for two grand daughters. There is maybe one pound or a little less in the kit. I ordered from Candle Science a 50 lb box of soy wax, and many 1oz. ,wicks and other things they have good prices check their web sight. They have good video how to's and you tube does also. This kit is good to see if you like candle making.

I had the same issue. We used a long candle lighter to light them. We only used two lanterns out of the 50. I sent the others back for a refund. They are cheaply made. Both lanterns tore during assembly and took forever to get off the ground once we were finally able to light them. Do yourself a favor and get your money back.

I purchased two of these burners. They are awesome by the way!!! I purchased 30 pounds of fire glass for the two. It was perfect. For one, 15 pounds should be ok. Enjoy!!!

Many of the LED candles don't have a "bulb" that can be removed. If you have candles that take this type of "night light bulb" it should work. In my opinion, they would work well for that. The light might be a little more white than an incandescent bulb. They run really cool which I like.
