Measure and Melt the Wax

Based on the dimensions of the container you are using, determine the quantity of wax that you will require. If you fill your container with flakes, then twice the amount that you filled it with, this is a good rule of thumb.

Put the wax flakes into the heat-resistant bowl or the top half of the double boiler, and then fill the bottom pot with water. This will complete the process of setting up your double boiler. Continue to swirl the wax occasionally while it is being heated over medium heat until it has completely melted. Monitor the temperature with the thermometer; the wax should reach approximately 185 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius).

Add Fragrance Oils and Dye

Take the wax off of the heat source as soon as it has melted and reached the proper temperature. Allow to cool to about 175°F (80°C) before incorporating your aroma oils. Use around 1 ounce of fragrance oil per pound of wax for a powerful smell. To create the ideal smell blend, add equal quantities of oud and black rose essential oil water diffuser. This is the moment to stir in a few drops of candle dye till you get the right shade if you want to add color.

Pour the Wax

Pour the colored and scented wax into the prepared container very carefully. To avoid spills, leave a small gap (about 1/2 inch) at the top. As the wax solidifies, use your wick centering tool to maintain the wick’s position.

Let the Candle Set

Allow the candle to totally harden and cool down before using it. Depending on the size of the candle, this process may take many hours or perhaps go on for an entire night. In order to avoid any defects or cracking, it is important to refrain from moving the container while the wax is setting.

Trim the Wick

When the candle has reached its full set, cut the wick so that it is approximately one-quarter of an inch above the wax surface. It is recommended to use this length for a clean and even burn.

Cure the Candle

Allowing your candle to cure for at least forty-eight hours before lighting it will ensure the best possible scent throw. When the candle is burned, the wax and fragrance oils are able to fully connect to one another, resulting in a more robust aroma.
