Dyes: Our Voyageur candle dye blocks and liquids work well with Golden Brands – GW 494 Wax Melt and Tart Soy Wax. When using dyes, heat the wax to the recommended temperature, add the dye, and mix until dissolved.
Fragrances: Recommended maximum scent load is about 8-12%. It is recommended that after you melt your wax that you remove from heat and then add your fragrance, stirring gently for approximately 2 minutes to make sure fragrance is fully combined with the wax.
Melting: Melt Golden Brands – GW 494 Wax Melt and Tart Soy Wax under gentle agitation to promote even heating and thorough mixing. Add any desired fragrance and dye, mixing well to incorporate. Allow the wax to cool to the 155°F - 165°F pour temperature.
Pouring:
- Pour temperatures will vary according to container type and size, fragrance(s), essentials oils and dye(s).
- Different configurations result in various cooling rates. Cooling too quickly or too slowly can cause concaving and/or frosting. A recommended starting temperature is 160°F. Pour temperatures should be checked and confirmed according to seasonal changes and adjusted as necessary for the size/type of container used.
Cooling: Cool undisturbed wax melts and tarts at an ambient temperature of 70° F (21.1°C). The container should remain cooling for at least 24 hrs. Slower cooling will encourage container adhesion while quicker cooling will encourage container pull away.
