Paraffin Wax – Fully Refined (5kg Slab/chunks)

🕯️ How to Use Fully Refined Paraffin Wax

A step-by-step guide for smooth, fragrant candles

These instructions are based on our own lab tests. Always test different fragrance levels, colors, and temperatures to suit your setup.

We suggest a 3–5% fragrance ratio with our fragrance oils and highly recommend using a digital thermometer for accuracy.

🛠️ Before You Begin

• Lay down newspaper or protective covering—wax can get messy.

• Work on a flat, sturdy surface and ensure your wicks are centered and fixed.

• Use a non-permanent marker to mark the highest fill level on your candle jars.

♨️ Step 1: Gently Melt the Wax

• Melt the wax using a double boiler method (never directly on the stove).

• Heat slowly until it reaches 85°C—the wax should look fully clear.

• Avoid overheating beyond 90°C, as it may impact the final appearance and structure.

🌈 Step 2: Add Colour and Scent

• If using dye, add it before the fragrance to help it blend smoothly.

• Stir in your fragrance at 75°C–79°C, mixing slowly for about a minute.

• When working with paraffin alone, limit fragrance to 3–5% for best results.

🕳️ Step 3: Pour the Wax

• Let the wax cool to about 70°C before pouring—it should still be transparent.

• Fill each container 2 cm below the top to allow space for the second pour.

• Keep the remaining wax aside for topping up later.

• Make sure your jars are at room temperature to avoid cooling issues.

🧊 Step 4: Cure and Finish

• Let the candles set undisturbed for 12 hours.

• Reheat the leftover wax to 65°C–70°C and top up to the fill line.

• Allow another 12 hours to cure completely.

For best results, paraffin wax can be poured in up to three layers to ensure strong glass adhesion and a flawless surface.
