Instructions
Start by gathering all supplies and having a clean work space.
Using your kitchen scale, measure 325 grams of soy wax into a large microwavable glass bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes and use infrared thermometer to take temperature. Continue to microwave for 30 second intervals until wax is melted to 180 - 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Use oven mitts to remove hot glass from microwave. Allow to rest 5-7 minutes to allow temperature to come down.
Prepare the candle jar by placing the warning label sticker on the bottom. Use the wick sticker to attach the wick in the center.
Once temperature of wax has reduced to 160 degree Fahrenheit, pour 35g fragrance oil directly into wax and gently stir with spoon for 2 minutes.
Remove spoon and gently pour the mixed wax into the candle container. Re-center wick, set in popsicle stick, and allow to cure for at least an hour.
After candle sets, about an hour, trim the wick. Allow candle to cure at least 24 hours before burning.
Take notes on adjustments and changes for the future.
