First of all, making carved candles starts with these hot waxes of different colors. First, the technician will keep stirring the hot wax to keep it flowing, then put the hexagonal wax film in the transparent liquid wax, and then put the yellow hot wax. The transparent wax inside will dilute the infected wax of other colors, and then cool the hardened wax layer with cold water. Then continue to put the wax film into liquid wax of other colors. This process needs to be repeated more than 30 times to make the wax film stick with layers of wax of different colors. Candles will become hotter and softer when they are constantly infected with colored wax. In the process of candle impregnation, technicians will use tools to dig grooves on the surface of candles.
Second, when the candle is put into the hot wax solution again, it is necessary to carefully observe the temperature of the candle. If the temperature is too high, it will be too soft to carve. If the temperature is too low, the wax will break easily. Before carving, the technician should squeeze the dripping wax together and then cut off the excess parts. These waxes are really beautiful, and it would be a pity to throw them away, so he will quickly knead these colored waxes into small mushrooms. Now the big wax candle is at the most suitable temperature, that is, the teacher cuts the candle at the bottom into thin leaves, and the whole carving process must be completed within 15 minutes, otherwise the candle will become too hard to bend. Roll up the cut leaves and arrange them in one direction.
Third, put the bottom of the candle in cold water to make it hard, and then start cutting the leaves in the second row to make them curl in the opposite direction to the first row. This carved candle needs to cut out four layers of leaves, and the last row of leaves will be rolled up with your fingers and stuck to the candle. Now technicians use square knife-edge tools to carve various beautiful patterns to decorate candles. At this time, he must carve quickly and steadily, and nothing is allowed. It takes at least two years of study to have such exquisite carving skills. The technician gently shook the knife and carved a lifelike swan. After carving the last pattern, the carved candle is finished.
Fourthly, a circular cutter is used to press around the bamboo core, so that the groove formed can leave the melted wax leaves in the middle to prevent the wax leaves from flowing out and destroy the exquisite carving patterns. Next, put the candle in the hot pot and rotate it, melt the bottom of the candle and put a torn sticker on it. Finally, putting the candle into the acrylic glaze solution will form a protective film on the surface of the candle to protect the carving on the candle. After the candle is lit, the fire will be ejected from the transparent wax core and pass through the carved pattern, which becomes an art of luminous candle.
