Instructions for working with KeraSoy Container 4130 soy wax from the manufacturer's specifications.
Melt the wax to 75-85°C for complete melting. Temporary heating to 90°C does not negatively affect the wax if it cools quickly. Higher temperatures may cause the wax to lose color. Allow the wax to cool to the temperature for adding colorant and fragrance, then add them according to the instructions below.
Fragrance: add at 65–70 °C, mix thoroughly. Colorants: add at approximately 75 °C, mix until uniform. If you want a more saturated color, add additional black colorant to the base color.
Pouring temperature depends on the type, material of container, percentage of fragrance and colorant. The best adhesion to container walls is achieved at a pouring temperature of 45-55°C. If you encounter difficulties, try increasing or decreasing the pouring temperature in steps of 5-10°C. Usually, the ideal pouring temperature is around 60-65 °C.
Choosing the right wick is critically important for clean, even burning.
Preheating glass containers to 45-50 °C helps better adhesion of the wax to the walls and reduces "wet spots".
Allow the candles to set for at least 48 hours at room temperature before the first burn.
