- Use Instructions
- Melting
- The wax may be melted at about 65°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 mold size, ambient temperature and the other ingredients used; some small-scale experimentation is highly recommended before pouring larger quantities. The wax is tolerant to different pour temperatures, though lower temperatures generally result in fewer surface defects and may alleviate the need for a second pour. A recommended starting range is 40-50°C.
- Curing
- The candle should be allowed to cool and cure for at least 12 hours before use, preferably in a temperature- controlled environment.
