Basic Guidelines:

• Melt point: 125 – 130°F
• Heat wax to temperature 185° (caution: heating wax above 200° may cause wax discoloration)
• Add dye as needed and mix thoroughly
• At 160-165° add candle fragrance oil as needed and mix thoroughly (fragrance oil should be added just before pouring to prevent fragrance oil from evaporating)
• Pouring temperatures should typically be around 130°, though experimentation is recommended to determine optimal pouring temperature
• When pouring melted wax into containers, the containers should be at room temperature or slightly warmer
• Allow candles to cool as slow as possible to achieve good jar adhesion and create the smoothest possible finish
