What’s Included?

• 400 Grams of Premium Soy Wax Flakes

 

 

Suggested Use:

 

Melting

This wax has a melt temperature of approximately 50C (122F). It may be heated temporarily as high as 87.8C (190F) if powder dyes are being used, but temperatures in excess of this may cause the wax to discolour. Before adding any colour or fragrance, make sure that the melted wax has been thoroughly stirred to ensure an even heat distribution.

 

Using Dyes

This wax works well with most powder, liquid and solid dyes, but to achieve a deep colour, about 30% extra dye will need to be used. When using powder dyes the wax needs to be raised to a temperature of approximately 87.8C (190F) and stirred continuously until all the dye has been completely dissolved. It is often easier, when using powder dyes, to dissolve the powder dye in fragrance before adding to the wax.

 

Using Fragrance

The recommended maximum scent load for this wax is 8%. If you use more than that, the wax may not be able to hold the fragrance in suspension and you will get 'wet spots' where the fragrance has puddled.

 

It is recommended that any fragrance is added just before pouring - at a temperature no lower than 57.2C (135F). Make an allowance for the slight temperature drop when you add the cool fragrance.

 

The optimum scent throw from this wax is achieved when you have a full size melt pool with a depth of 1/4 - 1/2". Not all fragrances are suitable for soya wax and may lead to frosting or poor flame quality. If this happens, try a different fragrance.

 

Wicking

Soy wax needs a larger wick than paraffin waxes, and cotton cored, paper cored and zinc cored wicks should be avoided as they tend to get a bit of a carbon build up which will give rise to 'sooting'.

 

Pouring

Pour temperatures will depend on the size of container being used. The size will affect the rate of cooling, and cooling too quickly (or slowly) can cause the wax to frost, or the top surface to become concave.

 

If you do experience problems with frosting or shrinkage, try adjusting your pour temperature in increments of 10 degrees.

 

Allow the candles to cool undisturbed in an ambient temperature of approx. 70F (21C). The containers need to be at least 1/2" apart to allow for proper air circulation and even cooling. Leave any lids off the containers for at least 24 hours - longer for really large ones. Allow the candles to 'cure' for at least 48 hours before test burning. It really does make a difference!
