How to Choose the Best Wax Melter for Candle Making
Selecting the right wax melter is the most important equipment decision you'll make as a candle maker. A quality melter:
✔ Preserves fragrance oils (no burning off top notes)
✔ Ensures even wax consistency (professional results every time)
✔ Saves hours per batch (3x faster than DIY methods)
✔ Lasts for years (not months like cheap alternatives)
