Candela mould is biodegradable and vegan friendly. No animal products are used and no animal testing has been carried out in its manufacture and it does not require additives other than fragrance and colour required by the Candle maker.
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.
Melts : Moulds 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 Candela high performance container 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 : Candela high performance soy 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.
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.
