Please note that each manufacturer of soy wax has different temperature requirements. All soy wax is NOT the same.
Wax and electronics to not mix! 1 pound of soy wax melts to 16 ounces of liquid wax. How many candles you make from a pound of wax will depend on the size of the jars you use. Once the wax cools to the specified temperature, add your fragrance. Stir well before pouring your candles. Pour your candles when the wax cools to the suggested pouring temperature or once it starts changing consistency. You can layer and marble your candles as well. If you layer your candles wait at least 15 minutes for the first layer to set before pouring the next layer. This ensures that the candle will burn completely and evenly.
