Candle Maker's Notes:
Seeking a stronger hot throw in your melts and pillars? Make sure to weigh your fragrance oils, add them to the wax at 185°F (85°C), and stir for two minutes to ensure the fragrance binds to the wax.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Allow your candles to cure for at least a week for maximum throw.
  • View our Lab Notes for all the details on BW-921.
  • Use our Wick Guide to help get your testing started.

Hey Nuha! Thank you for your review and we're happy to help. Soy waxes are often much more pastel in cooled wax and it can be difficult to achieve deeper darker colors. We'd love to hear more about what you're experiencing. A member of our Customer Support team is reaching out via email to help out.

I love this wax

Until recently I have beer a container candle maker. This is my first time trying votives and pillars. Aside from the fact that this wax takes a lot longer to melt, this wax is fantastic. Both the cold and hot throws are perfect, and it holds dye magnificently!

I had a problem with this wax curdling. I used 7% FO. Added at 180 and stored for 3 minutes with pour at 160.

I've never had any trouble using this wax for my snap bars. It holds color and fragrance so well and is very easy to work with. I recently tried it in some votives and they came out perfect too!
