In English, we have been making candles. We used soy wax which has different procedures. This is the method.
Method:
- Weigh your wax. There were 4 of us making candles so we had 500g(1lb).
- Using a double boiler melt your wax. While the wax is melting, prepare your cup/jar by sticking the wick.
- Check the temperature continuously. The temperature must not exceed 75℃.
- When all the wax has melted, take it off the stove and wait for it to cool down to 65℃ before adding the essence.
- When the wax is cool enough, add the essence and mix vigorously.
- Pour your wax into a pouring jug before pouring into the jar.
- After pouring the melted wax into the jar, let it sit overnight.
- Once the candle has set, cut the wick to at least 2cm.
Your candle is all set to go. It is recommended to leave your candle for at least 2 weeks before lighting it. It is optional.😀
