Description:
A complex soy wax blend designed to give a creamy off-white appearance, provide excellent fragrance throw, exhibit an “even-ness” of burn and wax consumption, and give good container adhesion for candles. This wax comes in slab form and is designed to be a single pour wax with smooth tops.

| Average Pouring Temperature: | 190° - 210°F |
| Curing: | We recommend a 1-2 week cure time to maximize hot and cold throw. |

how to use
step 1
Prepare vessels first, or prepare while wax is heating up. ie wick vessels and secure with wick centering bars before pouring in hot wax.
How To use
step 2
Heat to 210-220°F degrees, remove from the heat source, add fragrance oil and stir for 15-30 seconds. If you're adding dye, add dye and stir for an additional 15-30 seconds until fully blended. It is recommended to pour hot at around 190°F.

step 3
For thick glass and or cooler room temperatures below 65°F, pre-heating the glass is recommended. For smoother top surfaces (ie granite), it is recommended to set up and place candle on a raised cooling rack and allow to cure.

Step 4
The maximum fragrance load is 8-12%, but higher fragrance loads should be tested per fragrance. Personally, I use 8-9% fragrance load. Allow 1-2 weeks to fully cure for maximum cold and hot throw.
How to Use
- Prepare vessels first, or prepare while wax is heating up. ie wick vessels and secure with wick centering bars before pouring in hot wax.
- Cut wax into smaller chunks. Soy Bliss wax is a soft enough wax where you can use a butter knife to score it and break it into smaller pieces.
- Heat to 200 - 220°F degrees, remove from the heat source, add fragrance oil and dye, blend for 15-30 seconds and pour immediately.
- For consistently smooth results, it is recommended to pour hot at 190 - 200°F.
- For thick glass and or cooler room temperatures below 65°F, pre-heating the glass is recommended. For example, you can either place jars in the oven on the lowest setting, or use a heat gun to preheat jars.
- For smoother top surfaces (ie granite), it is recommended to heat lamp the surface after candle has set up or place candle on a raised cooling rack.
- The maximum fragrance load is 8-12%, but higher fragrance loads should be tested per fragrance.
- We recommend allowing a 1-2 week cure time to maximize the cold and hot throw.
How do you calculate the amount of fragrance oil to use?
First, you need to know what percentage of fragrance oil you want to use. The average usage is 6%.
Here is a basic formula:
(oz of wax using) x (% of fragrance oil you want to use) = (oz of fragrance oil needed)
For example, let's say you are using two pounds of wax and want to use 6% fragrance oil.
First, you'll need to calculate the number of ounces of wax you have:
2 x 16 (number of oz in 1 pound) = 32oz
Plug these numbers into your formula:
32 x 6% = 1.92oz
You can round up to 2oz for easy measuring on your scale.
Below, I created an easy fragrance load calculator where it will calculate the amount of fragrance oil needed in both ounces and grams.
General Wick Guide
WICKING TIP: Coconut blended waxes are different than regular soy wax. There won't be a full melt pool until you get about half way down the jar. 100% soy has a "memory" and will tunnel, however, coconut blended waxes don't as much. Initially, there will be some "hang up" on the sides of the jar but as the wick burns, the sides of the jar heat up, and melt the rest of the wax. The important thing to keep an eye on when wick testing is to make sure the jar doesn't get too hot to the touch, there's no soot starting to form along the rim of the vessel, and ideally, the temperature of the melt pool should be between 140 - 160 F.
