SCENTED CANDLES: EVERYTHING CANDLE MAKERS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FRAGRANCE

CARGILL C3 Soy Wax Container Blend is 100% soy wax from CARGILL and by far our most popular due to competitive pricing and a high quality product. It’s quite resistant to bloom (white frosting) and “wet spots” while producing an excellent scent throw with fragrances. Our wax maintains an even burn pool with consistent color retention and like our C1 wax, possesses good glass adhesion.

CARGILL C3 Soy Wax Container Blend is specifically designed for container candles, producing an opaque product with a balanced, creamy look. Shrinkage is minimal when cooling however most jars will require touch-up with a heat gun or a second pouring. It comes in flake form with a melt point of 127℉ and a flash point >600℉.

See our illustrated instructions for melting wax safely.

Our SB 1000 soy blend container wax has a very smooth surface and adheres well to glass containers. The blend is made of 60% soy wax and a 40% blend of paraffin, UV and an enhancing additive.

Compared to 100% Soy Wax, SB 1000 soy blend container wax has superior cold & warm fragrance throw and ideal burn quality. Use HTP wicks for best burn performance. This wax puts off a stronger smell. The scent lasts longer and smells fresh for quite some time. The reason for this is because they burn at a much slower rate and the fragrance is released at a slower rate as well. Which in return will give you a fresher smelling candle for longer.

Add candle fragrance oil as needed and mix thoroughly (fragrance oil should be added just before pouring to prevent fragrance oil from evaporating)

Pouring temperatures should typically be around 120° to 165°, though experimentation is recommended to determine optimal pouring temperature

When pouring melted wax into containers, the containers should be at room temperature or slightly warmer

Allow candles to cool as slow as possible to achieve good jar adhesion and create a smooth finish.

Our 128 House Blend wax (4 pack) is a special in-house blend designed for votives, tapers, and jar containers. Our own special in-house wax is blended primarily for jar container candles, votive candles and taper candles. We package our 128 House Blend in convenient, manageable 1 lb. bricks.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

When making votive candles using 128 House blend, it is necessary to add 1% Vybar 260. This will help harden and shrink the wax, making it more opaque and easier to remove from the mold. The addition of Vybar will also result in an overall smoother candle surface and has the added benefit of accepting more fragrance.

You can make your DIY taper candles from our 128 house blend wax. These candles make lovely holiday gifts. Candles are a great way to set the mood. These tapers work well in any candle holder, and they can even be used for emergency kits or power outages.

Votive candles add ambiance and warmth to any setting and are simple to customize to the theme of your next event just by changing the color and fragrance. Votive candles are not meant to be freestanding. While the making process is similar to that of a pillar candle, they burn like a container candle. Make sure you use holders specifically votive candles.

The mouth is designed as an eagle diversion mouth for an easy pour. With this melting pot, it won’t take long to get the wax melted. Just put your wax in the pot, heat it, and that’s it. Once that’s done, grab the handle and pour as needed. You’ll find that the handle and exterior of the pot stay close to the temperature of the room you’re working in.

The inside traps the heat inside well and doesn’t allow the wax to stick to the surface when you’re ready to wash it out. Excellent heat conductivity helps the wax to cool down really quickly. Nonstick and easy to wash with soap and water.
