Description

Candle making

Melt the wax in a water bath until it is completely liquid and transparent. If the wax is not completely melted, it can cause frosting.

If desired, mix in fragrance and coloring. The amount of fragrance recommended by the manufacturer is 6-12%. When using colorants, follow the instructions for the dye. It is worth remembering that due to the light color of the wax, the colors remain pastel.

The melted wax must be allowed to cool until its temperature is approx. 60 °C. The lower temperature of the wax ensures faster solidification and reduces the risk of cracks on the surface of the candle.

NB! Varying the pouring temperature can cause changes in appearance. Containers need to be at room temperature. Cooling candles too fast may cause cracks or wet spots. Slow cooling may cause frosting.

Choice of wick

When making a larger quantity of candles, we always recommend testing the candles to find the best wick thickness. In my tests, I concluded that the burning characteristics of rapeseed wax were very similar to Nature Wax C3 soy wax, and the wick size was comparable.

Stabilo 8 for candles with a diameter of 4-5 cm.

Stabilo 14 for candles with a diameter of 5-6 cm.

Stabilo 16 for candles with a diameter of 5.5-6.5 cm.

Stabilo 18 for candles with a diameter of 6-7 cm.

Stabilo 20 for candles with a diameter of 6.5-7.5 cm.

Stabilo 24 for candles with a diameter of 7-8 cm.

When choosing a wick, it is worth considering that:

a large amount of coloring or fragrance affects the burning properties of the candle. A candle may need a thicker wick than an unscented and uncolored candle. Different fragrance oils can behave differently in a candle.
If the container is very deep or narrows at the top, the candle may need a smaller wick than in a wider, open dish. In a narrow, deep, closed container, the temperature of the candle is higher and the wax melts faster.
