Question ? Hi lady Kim .your work is beautiful! When you glaze the candle do you dilute the glaze? It is a MUST to go to clear wax before glaze? Thanks Answer!!) My Candle Keepsakes 2 seconds agoMy Candle Keepsakes yes I do dilute and leave covered when not in use. Yes clear wax before glaze, because the clear dip smooths all the cuts and locks them in place. If you just glaze the candle with out the clear dip the ribbons feel sharp not smooth. Also be careful not to touch candle after clear wax with your fingers before glazing, and always wait for it to dry before handling it. The oils in your finger tips will cause glaze to not stick. Hope this was helpful. ~Kimberly~
