Melt the wax in a water bath or double boiler, stirring occasionally. Monitor the temperature with a thermometer and do not overheat beyond what is needed for complete melting. If using fragrance oil or dye, add it to the melted wax according to the additive manufacturer's instructions and mix thoroughly. Pour into the mold or container with the wick fixed, place in a stable spot and leave to fully solidify and harden. Tips: Beeswax melts at a higher temperature than plant-based waxes - allow more time for melting. Before a larger batch, perform a test candle: check the wick, mold, and pouring method. Beeswax can be used alone or mixed with plant waxes, e.g. soy; melt waxes with different melting points separately, then combine. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and foreign odors. What to avoid: Overheating wax and melting directly on a burner without a water bath - wax may lose color and natural aroma. Pouring in drafts or rapid cooling - promotes cracking and uneven surfaces. Using too thin a wick - beeswax usually requires a stronger wick than plant waxes. Treating natural features as defects: white bloom, minor discolorations, slight shrinkage, and shade differences between batches are typical for beeswax. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions Is the wax suitable for molded and container candles? Beeswax is a universal raw material used in both techniques. The manufacturer does not specify separate pouring temperatures for molds and glass, so before a larger batch, it is advisable to test and adjust temperature and wick experimentally. What wick to choose? The manufacturer does not provide a wick chart for this wax. Beeswax has a higher melting point than plant waxes, so it usually requires a thicker wick than the same design in soy wax. The most reliable method is a burn test on one candle. What percentage of fragrance oil to add? The wax manufacturer does not specify a recommended fragrance load, so follow the specific fragrance oil manufacturer's recommendation and test on a trial candle. The wax has its own natural honey scent, which may interact with the fragrance composition. What is the white bloom on beeswax candles? This is a natural bloom appearing on the surface of beeswax over time. It is not a defect and does not affect burning - it can be gently wiped off with a soft cloth or the surface can be warmed.
