Paraffin Wax M3B – 1kg

🕯️ How to Use Paraffin Wax: A Step-by-Step Candle Making Guide

These directions are based on our own lab testing.

🧹 Get Set Up

• Protect your workspace with paper or plastic sheets—wax can drip!

• Work on a flat, sturdy surface.

• Place and secure your wicks in containers ahead of time.

• Use a temporary marker to show how full each jar should be.

♨️ Step 1: Melt the Wax

• Use indirect heat (like a double boiler or wax melter). Never melt wax over direct flame.

• Heat gradually until the wax turns fully transparent—aim for 90°C to 95°C.

• Avoid exceeding 100°C, as this may affect how the wax sets and performs.

🌈 Step 2: Mix In Colour & Scent

• Add your chosen dye before the fragrance for a smoother blend.

• Once the wax reaches 85°C–90°C, stir in your fragrance oil gently for about a minute.

• For single-wax paraffin candles, a 3% to 5% fragrance load works best, depending on the strength of the scent.

🕳 Step 3: Time to Pour

• Let the wax cool to around 75°C—it should still look clear but not too hot.

• Fill each container to just below the fill line (about 2cm from the top).

• Save some wax for a second pour later.

• Ensure the containers are at room temperature for even setting.

⏱ Step 4: Cool & Top Up

• Allow the candles to sit for at least 12 hours after the initial pour.

• Gently reheat your leftover wax to 70°C–75°C using the same indirect method.

• Fill the rest of the container to the marked line.

• Let the candles cure for another 12 hours.

💡 Tip: If needed, you can do up to three pour layers to get a smooth top and excellent container adhesion.
