TIPS
- Cavities or holes may form after cooling. To avoid this, make sue there is no huge temperature difference between the wax, jar, mold and room temperature during pouring.
- To remove cavities and holes, just heat some wax and top up.
- Make one test candle first before attempting larger batches.
- As with all candle making projects, always test to make sure the fragrance, coloring, additives (if any) create a candle that burns long and well.
- Do not add plant powders, food pigments, or any non-approved dyes and colorants that may affect the burning of the flame or produce toxic fumes
- To avoid mini cracks that can happen on the surface, use a heat gun to smoothen cracks, slow down the cooling down temperature by storing in an insulation box, OR increase the melting point from 60 degrees to 80 degrees.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANDLE MAKING:
Get your wicks and sustainers ready by gluing it to the bottom of the containers.
Clip the wick upright with plastic clip at the top of the containers.
Melt wax (around 70 °C) in a steel pot directly over low fire or in a double boiler. Be careful not to overheat wax.
Stir occasionally (overheated wax will discolour and/or burn your wax).
Once melted, remove from heat and stir to lower the temperature. Blend in Fragrance Oil at 65 °C. You can also add in candle dye.
Pour into mold or container at 60 °C.
Allow wax to set at room temperature and let it cure for 1-2 days before using.
To clean up your tools and pot, wipe them clean with a paper towel while the wax is still melted. Spray Isopropyl Alcohol and wipe again until clean.
WHEN BLENDING WITH PARAFFIN WAX...
You can use up to 60% of Creamy Palm Wax for container candles and thin pillar candles. For candles with larger diameters (70 mm onwards), Creamy Palm Wax should be reduced.
Creamy Palm Wax has different burn characteristics to paraffin waxes as it is a natural wax. It is recommended to use flat braided wicks that are 20% larger than the candle diameter for Creamy Palm Wax candles.
