- Use Instructions
- Melting
- The wax may be melted at about 70°C to incorporate colors and fragrances. Higher temperatures are permissible but heating the wax above 90°C for prolonged periods is not recommended.
- Pouring
- The ideal pouring temperature will depend on the mold size, the ambient temperature and other ingredients used; some small-scale experimentation is highly recommended before pouring larger quantities. The wax is tolerant to different pour temperatures, and a recommended starting range is 50-60°C.
- Curing
- The melt or candle should be allowed to cool and cure for at least 12 hours before use, preferably in a temperature-controlled environment.
