In today's video, we go in depth about the concrete candle jar making process from start to finish. We will go over the materials and supplies needed, the actual mixing and pouring process, and also common issues and solutions.
Please note that everything shown in this video is just what works best for me. There is no wrong or right way of doing things. I urge you to do your own research and testing.
