Directions
for our Container Kit with J50 wax:
-
Pre-wick your jars using the Wick
Stickums™ on the bottom of the round metal wick tabs. Stick them
down in the center of your jars and make sure they are secure. A
hollowed out Bic pen works nicely for pushing down over the wick.
-
Weigh your wax on a scale.
Melt the wax in the pouring pot, set inside a pot of water on the stove
(like a double boiler). NEVER directly on the burner!
-
Once melted, add approx. 1-2 dye
chips per pound of wax (depending on desired shade) and stir until dissolved.
-
Next add approx. 1 oz. of scent
per pound of wax, and stir well. Some fragrances blend easier than
others, so some may require more stirring. Vanilla based oils tend
to have a more difficult time blending. If you run into a difficult
one, try adding a bit of Vybar 260 and stir very well up until you pour.
-
Check temperature with thermometer.
Once wax is approx. 160-165 degrees it is ready to pour.
-
Pour from the pouring pitcher
into your jars slowly and steadily. Pouring into pre-warmed jars
can help prevent jump lines and wet spots. Keep wicks as straight
and centered as possible.
-
Once wax has set slightly on top,
enough to hold the wick in place, it is safe to carefully move your jars
into a box or an insulated plastic cooler. The slower the candles
cool, the better. Give them ample time to completely set up before
trimming the wick and putting the lids on the jars.
-
It is best to allow your candles
at least 1 week to cure before test burning for optimal fragrance throw.
Always test burn your candles before selling, and make sure to include
a caution label on each one!
