QUESTION: What product am I going to use to make the candles shine?

Answer
There are a couple of ways to make your candles shiny and glossy.  One is using an over dip.  This dipping gloss can be used by dipping your candle into it or by brushing the gloss onto the candle.  You can achieve a high gloss finish with just one layer.  It is made to stay clear and not turn yellow after time.  It comes in liquid form. The second way is a spray gloss.  Which is a specially formulated spray sealer designed to enhance the look of your candle.   Hope that helps!
