How to Make Scented Soy Wax Candles
Introduction to Candle Making
- The presenter introduces the tutorial on making scented soy wax candles, emphasizing tips for professional packaging and aesthetics.
- Importance of maintaining quality standards when selling candles is highlighted, with a promise to provide easy replacements for materials.
Materials Needed
- Essential materials include soybean wax, containers (ceramic, glass, or wood), wicks of various sizes, a kitchen thermometer, and a melting pot.
- A kitchen scale is necessary for weighing ingredients; alternatives are suggested for those without one.
- Preparation involves measuring the wick length based on container height and securing it in place using glue or silicone.
Melting the Wax
- The process begins by melting the wax over low heat until it transitions from solid to liquid.
- Stirring gently with a wooden spoon helps ensure even melting; residual heat can finish the process without exceeding 60 degrees Celsius.
Adding Fragrance
- Once melted, it's recommended not to use the same jar for adding essence to avoid scent mixing; a separate plastic jar should be used instead.
- The ideal temperature for adding fragrance is around 45 degrees Celsius; cloudiness indicates readiness. A recommended essence percentage is 10% of wax weight.
Final Steps and Cooling
- After stirring well to combine wax and essence, allow it to cool until approximately 35 degrees before pouring into containers.
