Step 1: Materials

Voss drink bottle 800ml
Olive oil or other oil
Water
Candle wax or old candle
Methylated spirits

New candles

Step 2: Coating the Spring in Wax

Coating the spring in wax is so that the spring will stick to the rest of the wax when it's all done.
So you start off with getting the spring out of the pen then grab your wax and place it into a card board cup and place that in the microwave for 3:00 minutes then take it out and pour a couple of mls of methylated spritis in with the wax
Then place the spring in the mixture and place it in the fridge to cool for a couple of minutes
Once it has cooled pull it out of the wax before it has fully solidified and then just place the spring back in the fridge

Step 3: Making the Mixture

Pour 250ml of water in the glass bottle
The pour 700ml of methylated spirits Into the mix
Pour 25 ml of olive oil and then add two hand fulls of wax into the mix I used a funnel that I made out of a soda bottle
