Is there a good guide to soy candle making? If so, where can I get it.

I have just ordered some stuff, and am going to try making my own candles. Things that I really need to know are:

1) What is the best method for melting wax (double boiler I am guessing)
2) What is the temperatures that I would add things like dye chips, or scents
3) What temperature to pour at
4) What size of wick to use (I am going to use 3 and 4 inch diameter jars)

That is the main questions for now, I will probably have more once my wax and materials arrive.

Thanks in advance

I use a presto pot to melt my wax, I can't be bothered with the double boiler method, lol I'm lazy that's too much work
when you add your FO and dye depends on your wax, different waxes have different properties.

Wick size you're going to have to test, but generally anything over three inches you are going to have to double wick, I would start in a 4 inch container with 2 htp 83s if you are going to use htp wicks.
