THE MAKING(English Version)(264)The Making of Candles

“The Making” series. This series follows the technology used to make products we regularly come in contact with, explaining its contents and related science and technology. In this episode we introduce candles. We cover two types of candles, Japanese candles, resistant to wind and producing little soot, and western candles, that can easily be made into different shapes. Japanese candles are made by applying wax found in the nuts of a Japanese wax tree, by hand. Western candles are made by melting paraffin, which comes from petroleum, and shaped in molds.

The "western" method is for candles of lowest quality. My father makes his candels himself with wax from his own bees. This is the material german's only had used before parafin was introduesed. With good material for wicks (non syntetic), you can have very good "western" candels, too.

This isn't really a fair comparison. The "western" candles are mass-produced, low quality alternatives to the traditional beeswax candle. Having said that, beeswax candles were usually reserved for church use since they burn slowly with a delicate yellow light and don't produce any smoke. This made them more expensive so most people would have had a "taper" made from rushes dipped in tallow.

@aggese 3 ай бұрын

@@ApiaryManagerwhat made and still makes them more expensive is the work needed to get bees wax, but sure the churches demanding huge amounts of candles dident help
