This kit is considered the advanced step in learning on how to make soy candles. If you have never attempted to make a soy candle before and want to learn the basics, we strongly recommend starting with our Soy Wax Container Candle Making Kit.
You'll be able to make a basic pillar (free-standing) candle with this easy-to-use kit.
Soy Wax Pillar Kit Contents:
2 lbs.- Pillar Natures Soy Wax P-1
1 - 2.5 x 3.5 inch Metal Mold
2 - Dye Blocks (random)
2 - 2 oz. Scents (random)
Wicking, Wick Holders, Mold Sealer, Clamp, Safety Labels & Instructions
NOTE: Nu-Scents has the right to include molds, dye blocks, and scents of our choice in kit.
Out of the this pillar kit (using the metal mold in the kit) you could make about 5 candles.
LEARNING LESSON NOTES: (One pound = 16 oz.)
To figure out how much wax a specific metal mold will hold, you
need to weigh the metal mold (write down that weight), remove from scale, put a small amount of mold sealer securely over the hole on the bottom of the metal mold and add water to the metal mold, about .25 - .50 inch from the top.
Place back on the scale, with water in it (write down that weight). Now subtract the two weights. This will tell you (approximately) how much wax you will need for that specific container. This is know as the "tare weight".
TIPS:
Make sure there is spacing of 2”-3” between the molds prior to pouring. That way the candles won’t draw heat from one another.
Make sure the candle cools from the bottom first, not the top. This can be achieved by placing the molds on a cookie cooling type of rack (so the air gets under the mold) and it might also be necessary to place a box over the entire candle. If this is not done a “sink hole” (not welling) may show up when the candle is cooled.
It is considered NORMAL if a small “crack” (1/4”) appears by the wick when the candle is completely cooled. REMEMBER the wax that you see as the top of the candle, before it is released, ends up being the bottom of the candle.
Make sure the candle has been cured for a long enough period of time before shipping or even burning the candle. Let cure for about 4-7 days before shipping and at least 24 hours before burning.
