Soy Wax flakes - Golden Wax 444 - by ounce - 4, 8, or 16

Description

This depends on what you are making.  First there are container candles, such as glass jars, tealights, or metal tins.  Next, there are candles that you are going to pour in a mold, and remove.
Container Soy Wax Flakes
Your choices are Golden Blends 415, 444, or 464.
Some people have a preference and would never change.  Other people don’t even have a clue that different kinds of wax exist.  I will explain the  differences.  They all are made differently and therefore need to be processed
differently.  I sent complete instructions for all kinds of my wax. All of these
waxes are one pour and do not require any additives.
Golden Blends 415
100% pure for cosmetics
lip balm/lotion bars
This wax is 100 % soy wax.  There are no additives or fillers.  Perfect and safe for any cosmetics. It can be used for containers and tealights.  Must be poured at a lower temp in order to get smooth tops.
GW 444
I recommend this wax for beginners!
This blend is 98% soy with 2% natural additives. This wax is made in Louisville Kentucky with American grown soy beans.
This soy wax contains a soy based additive and is both natural and kosher. This soy based additive enables the soy to be poured at a hotter temperature, helps reduce frosting, and will help increase FO load. 444 has a higher melt point which enables it to retain a higher FO load to give you a stronger scent throw.
444 blends well with paraffin, slack wax, and microcrystalline waxes. It is not recommend to blend this wax with beeswax.
GW 464
Golden Blends 464 has superior scent throws.  It can hold up to 2 ounces of fragrance oil per pound.  It is blended with a soy additive to reduce frosting and give you smooth creamy tops.  It is a one pour wax.
Votive, Tart, Mold, Clam Shells, Wax Melts, etc.
Golden Blends 416
100% Soybean Oil Wax Great for Tarts, Votives and Melts Melt Point is 135 degrees F  Pouring Range: 120 - 130 degrees F  Add fragrance 5 - 10 degrees above desired pour temp!! **
Gently heat wax to melt.  The wax has to be hot enough to dissolve the fragrance oil and dye, but not greater than 185 degrees. So, 155 for liquid dye, 185 for dye chips or flakes.  You can use a crock pot or a double boiler. Presto pots work well too.  It’s not a good idea to heat wax directly on the stove.  Remove from heat.
Put the dye in the wax.  You can either use liquid, chips or a block.  It’s a good idea to get the wax the color you want, before you add the fragrance.  That way if it doesn’t turn out, you can turn it brown or black, and always keep a fragrance on hand that appropriate for a dark color.
Add the fragrance.  1 ounce of fragrance to 1 of pound wax is usually just right.   You can start with ¾ ounce and work up.  The max fragrance load is 2 ounces per pound.  It’s a good idea to use a kitchen or postal scale.  There is a difference between liquid volume of wax, and liquid volume of water.  If you don’t have a scale, you can guesstimate that 18 liquid ounces of wax is equal to 16 ounces net weight.
Gently stir wax for at least a minute.  The dye and fragrance must completely dissolve and bond into the wax.
Allow wax to cool to 135 for 444 and 95-100 degrees.for 415. This is important in order to get smooth tops.  While wax is cooling, get your containers ready.
Place wick sticker on the wick tab, and place in the center of your container. You can remove the inside of a Bic pen, so all you have it the barrel.  Thread the wick into the barrel. That will make it easier to guide the wick down into the container.  Press it firmly in place.  You may use a hot glue gun, but it can get messy.
Gently stir wax one last time.
Pour wax into a container.
Keep centering the wick as the wax solidifies.
Always test burn your wax, wick, dye, and fragrance combination before making a large batch. Even the amount of dye you are using will alter your burn.
Take a piece of wax paper, place it over a white piece of paper.  Then place a drop of your wax on.  When it hardens, that will be the color of your wax.  Then you can add more dye or more wax till you get the shade you want.
Allow candle to cure for 24 hours before lighting or lidding.
Trim wick to ¼ inch the first time, and ever time you light your candle.
Do not get your wax too hot.  And make sure you allow it to cool before you pour it into your jar. This is the best way to get smooth tops.
Your room temperature should be around 72 degrees.
Always line your work area with newspaper.
Do not over expose yourself to the fragrance fumes.
Use a heat gun if the tops need to be smoothed.  They work great for cleaning your equipment.
It’s nice to use Caution Labels if you are selling your candles.
And finally, always buy your candle supplies from me.  *jess
