Old or partial candles may be remelted and the wax reused although it is advisable not to heat the wax above 85°C or heating for extended lengths of time. Waxes should be stored in a cool dry location away from direct heat sunlight and moisture.
Containers : Containers should be clean and free of contaminants. Containers should be at least at room temperature although pre-heating the containers to approx. 45 - 50°C can be beneficial. When tested the glass adhesion with this wax was very forgiving and results where great under most environmental conditions.
Colour : Most dyes such as powder liquid chips etc work with CHP soybees wax. When using powder dyes heat the wax to approx. 75°C add the dye and mix until dissolved. Powder dyes may also be dissolved in fragrance and then added to the melted wax be sure the dye has dissolved completely before adding. When using powder dyes dissolved in fragrance liquid dyes colour blocks chips or no dye heat the wax to 70°C. If you wish to make your candle darker or “richer” add a little black dye to the colour you are using.
Fragrance : CHP soybees wax may be used with fragrance at levels up to 8% however fragrance which are specifically developed for use with natural waxes is highly recommended. Burn pool size and depth greatly affect fragrance throw so correct wicking is a must.
Wicking : SoyBees waxes may tend require larger wick sizes than traditional paraffin waxes. Fragrance colour and candle configuration have a great impact on the best wick choice. Too large of a wick may cause sooting accelerated burn times and guttering (wax leaking through the side of the candle). Too small a wick will cause tunnelling and produce a smaller flame. Keep wicks trimmed to ¼ inch. If you experience poor flame quality or stability try a different type of wick. Test burning should be done after the candle has had a chance to sit for 48 hours after pouring.
Melting : Temporary high temperatures (up to 90°C) have no adverse effect as long as the wax is cooled back down quickly. Higher temperatures may cause the wax to discolour. Allow the wax to cool to your desired pour temperature add the fragrance and mix well. Be sure to stir/mix the wax while melting. Avoid using containers containing copper and zinc as this may accelerate discolouration.
Pouring : Pour temperatures may vary according to mould type & size fragrance & dye used and the effects the candle maker wishes to achieve. Greater adhesion to containers can be achieved by pouring at temperature close to congealing point (approximately 45 - 55°C). Fragrance should be added and mixed immediately prior to pouring where practical. If you experience difficulties with your pour temperature try a lower or higher temperature in increments of 5 - 10°C. Consider pouring into pre heated moulds for better adhesion to glass containers.
