Handling and Melting of Pillar Wax:
• Melting of Wax
The wax should be heated to a temperature of 175 – 185 degrees F to melt the wax up. Do not heat the wax above 200o F. If Wax is held at higher temperatures for long periods of time it will discolor. Always use a thermometer when melting the wax and never leave your heated wax unattended. While the wax is melting stir the wax regularly to reduce localized heating of the oil. This will help to reduce burning of the wax while heating.
• Adding of other Ingredients
Other additives or ingredients may be added at any time to help improve the performance of the wax.
• Adding Candle Scent and Dye
The Fragrances and Dyes can be added to the wax after the wax is completely liquid. Make sure the dye is mixed and fully dissolved into the wax. Fragrance should be added to wax just before pouring into molds. This reduces the chance of the fragrant oil losing its potency.
• Pouring Candles
Make sure that the mold is at room temperature or slightly warmer before pouring the wax into the mold. The wax should be poured in the mold while the wax is 175 to 185 degrees.
