How to Make Votives (makes 8 votives)
One pound of IGI 4794-Premixed Votive Wax, one dye chip, 30 ml scent and 8 pretabbed self centering votive wicks, 8 votive molds.

Melt wax in double boiler or temperature controlled pot (not over direct heat) until 175 F, add dye chip and stir until dissolved. Add up to 30mls of scent and stir. Add one scv wick to each votive mold and pour into votive molds to within 1/4" of top. Keep back 1/2 cup for refilling shrinkage. Let sit until wax creates a "skin" -approx. 3-5 minutes, then move the wick from side to side to release any air bubbles. Let sit until completely cool approx. 3 hour. Reheat the wax kept back at the initial pouring. Centre wick if necessary. Top votives until full and slightly rounded. Allow to cool thoroughly. Candles should drop from molds after several hours, if not, put in refridgerator for 5 - 10 minutes to help them release.

How to Make Tealights (makes 32 tealights):
One pound of IGI 4786-Premixed Container Wax, one dye chip, 30 ml scent, 32 tealight cups and 32 tealight wicks.

Melt wax in double boiler or temperature controlled pot (not over direct heat) until 165 F, add dye chip and stir until dissolved. Add up to 30mls scent and stir. Pour into tealight cups until full. Let sit until wax creates a "skin" -approx. 1 minute. With a skewer, insert the pretabbed tealight wick in centre and push to bottom. No refilling is necessary.

How to Make Container Candles (makes 2 - 250 ml jam jars):
One pound IGI 4786-Premixed Container Wax, one dye chip, 30ml scent, 2- 6" wick
 (2"-4" diam.),wick stickums,  2- 250 ml jars.

Melt wax in double boiler or temperature controlled pot (not over direct heat) until 175 F, add dye chip and stir until dissolved. Add up to 30mls scent and stir. Stick wick stickum on the end of the wick and center it in the bottom of the jar. Pour into jars to within 1" of top. Keep back 1/2 cup for refilling shrinkage. Let sit until wax creates a "skin" -approx. 5 minutes, then move the wick from side to side to release any air bubbles.  Let sit overnight. Reheat the wax kept back at the initial pouring. Centre wick if necessary. Fill jars to original fill line. Allow to cool thoroughly.

How to Make Pillars(makes one 3x4 pillar)
One pound IGI 4625 Premixed Pillar Wax, 3x4 metal mold, one dye chip , 30mls scent, #1 cotton wick. 
(Every mold is different and therefore it is best to follow the directions included with the mold. Metal molds and acrylic molds use the same wax, but pouring instructions are quite different). We carry metal molds, complete with wicking and instructions.
Melt wax in double boiler or temperature controlled pot (not over direct heat) until 175 F, add dye chip and stir until dissolved. Add up to 30mls scent and stir. Wick your mold using the directions included with your mold. Pour wax  into mold to the very top keeping  back 1/2 cup for refilling shrinkage. Let sit until wax creates a "skin" -approx. 5 minutes, then move the wick from side to side to release any air bubbles.  Let sit overnight. Reheat the wax kept back at the initial pouring. Centre wick if necessary. Fill pillar to original fill line. Allow to cool thoroughly.

Burning Instructions

Caution: Failure to follow instructions could result in fire hazard, injury or smoke damage.

Keep wick centered and trimmed to ¼" to prevent smoking and soot build up. Periodically extinguish and retrim during usage. If flame is large, trim wick. If flame is struggling, pour off excess wax.

For Containers- Burn until wax is liquid to edge of container but no more than 4 hours at a time. Allow wax to harden before relighting. Discontinue use when only ½" of wax remains in bottom. Never close the lid on a burning candle. Do not allow the flame to touch the container. Keep wick centered.

For Pillars-For best results, burn until wax pool is to the edge of candle, usually one hour for every inch in diameter. Burn only on a suitable holder. To prevent dripping and contain wax pool, hand form top edges in toward centre while wax is warm and pliable.

For Votives-This candle will become liquid. Burn in a tight fitting votive holder. Never burn on a pick style holder.

General Tips:

  • Always burn on a stable, heat resistant surface.
  • Keep out of drafts and away from flammable material.
  • Do not move while hot.
  • Keep wax pool free from foreign objects.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended or within the reach of children or pets.
  • Store candles out of direct sunlight.

 

Container, Wax and Wick Suggestions  



Use this chart as a guide when using our jars, wax and wick. These are suggestions and work well for us. You should  still test burn your candles as fragrance load and dye may cause different burning results.
