Our Soy Wax is perfect for crafting high-quality container candles and tealights, especially if you live in or ship to warmer climates like eastern Washington/Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, or during hot summer months. With a melting point of 113°-118°F, this wax is versatile and reliable, ensuring your candles stay intact even in higher temperatures. Why Choose Soy Wax? Warm-Climate Friendly: Ideal for hot regions, offering stability in warmer conditions. Versatile Applications: Perfect for container candles and tealights. For wax melts, add a softer oil (e.g., coconut oil) for best results. Fragrance Capacity: Supports a fragrance load of 5-10%, giving you flexibility in scent strength. How to Use Soy Wax Melting: Heat the wax to 175°F. Avoid extended heating above 200°F to prevent scorching and discoloration. Stirring: Stir frequently during melting to ensure even heat distribution. Adding Fragrance/Color: Cool wax to 175°F before adding fragrance, essential oils, or dyes. Lower temperatures help retain scent quality. Stir well for 1-2 minutes to ensure even dispersion. Recommended fragrance load: 6-10%, depending on desired scent strength. Pouring: Allow the wax to cool to 135°F before pouring into containers. Ensure containers are at room temperature or slightly warmer to prevent wax from pulling away from the sides. Curing: Let your candle sit for at least 24 hours before burning. For optimal performance, cure for 2 weeks before lighting. Candle Making Tips Candle making is an art and requires experimentation. Test each wax, wick, and fragrance combination to achieve your desired results. Always measure ingredients by weight and keep detailed notes for consistency and future success.
