Colour
The wax should be melted to around 75°C when using dyes to ensure it fully dissolves into the wax. We recommended that moderate stirring is carried out. When not including dyes, melting the wax to 65°C will be sufficient.
Moulds
Moulds should be clean and free of contaminants. They should be at least at room temperature, although pre-heating to approx. 45 - 50°C can be beneficial.
Fragrance / Pouring
We recommend adding your fragrance at 60-65°C and stirring the wax well to ensure it is fully mixed. This wax is quite versatile with regard to pour temperatures, with good results achievable pouring between 45°C and 65°C. If pouring in a cold room, it is best to pour at the hotter end of the scale to avoid lines forming when the wax touches the side of the mould. If you experience difficulties with your pour temperature, try a lower or higher temperature in increments of 5 - 10°C.
Minimise the time that the wax is at a high temperature in order to reduce burning off the fragrance.
Curing Time
Coconut typically has a cure time of 24 hours.
