It all went pretty smooth. I could see there being difficulties without the double boil. A couple miss calculations that were easily recovered from. We only had 4 sticks with wicks and we ended up having enough beeswax for 5, but we had extra wicks so just grabbed a stick. The first pour was tricky because it was a full can, but after that it was easier for her. This was her first try at making candles with essential oils. It went as smooth as the videos :)
