FIRE BISCUITS

Nice demo and video mark......they are so worth having when its all against you....and will in most cases save the day :thumbsup:
Only thing I would add to that is a drop of Lamp Oil into the molten wax....and stir.... before dipping the pads :thumbsup:
In the amount of wax you melted in the video I would have added two teaspoon fulls :)

Good job mate :thumbsup:

All advice is welcome bill😁 and as it’s my first time , tweaking the recipe as you suggested sounds good to me, a don’t have lamp oil so will have to get some. Any hoo a need time in the shed away from these lot so way not 😂
 
As mentioned Mark, I've melted vaseline into the wax also when I've made these before but I may go with the lamp oil next time

I have an old soup can which I stick on the hob and melt the candles in that rather than messing up a pot. Think I got about 30 biscuits out of 3/4 a can of melt last time.
