Soy Candle Making Trouble Shooting

Making a candle out of soy wax is not overly complicated process, but following the instructions and recommendations is still necessary for success. Soy waxes will vary in the way they are formulated and will have different level of hydrogenation depending on the manufacturer. It is critical to follow manufacturer’s recommendations for heating the wax, as overheating is the lead cause to most issues. Adding too much or too little fragrance oil is also a common mistake. In order to be precise in your measurement, rely on weight rather than volume. Having a correct pouring temperature is also important in order to avoid wet spots or rough tops.

Key Takeaways:

• Too little fragrance oil or too much fragrance oil can make your candle smell worse than you intend.
• If your melting pool is too big you may want to check the size of your wick.
• You don’t want to pour your candle at too hot of a temperature. We don’t recommend using a microwave to heat your soy wax.

“All soy waxes are not hydrogenated and formulated to the same specifications so they will vary.”
