Now you have to light the candle and make the liquid wax fall on the paper boat, you have to extend the wax with your finger (the wax its so hot so wait 2 seconds).
Waterproof all sites of your paper boat with wax. Don't put a lot of wax because if you do it, the paper boat will be too much heavy and it will end wrecked anyway.
