Basic Instructions for Use<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Weigh the wax and heat it to about 75\u00b0C<\/strong>, stirring until it melts evenly. This is the preparation temperature, not the melting point. <\/li>\n
  2. Let it reach the pouring temperature. Add a fragrance suitable for natural candles immediately before pouring, where practical, and mix thoroughly. Observe the fragrance usage limits; 12% is the maximum compatible concentration. <\/li>\n
  3. Pour the mixture at approximately 65\u00b0C<\/strong> into a clean, dry mold. Adjust the temperature based on the dimensions and composition through trial and error. <\/li>\n
  4. Let the candle cool undisturbed at room temperature. Wait 48 hours after pouring<\/strong> before conducting a burn test, and test each combination of wax, fragrance, color, wick, and mold. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Color:<\/strong> Use colors suitable for candles. The TDS specifies approximately 75\u00b0C for dissolving powdered colors and 70\u00b0C for liquid colors or color cubes. <\/p>\n

    The mixture is designed for a single pour, but some large candles may require a top-up. The wick is selected by conducting a burn test. <\/p>\n
