Citronella Soy Wax Candle Recipe

Take your pot and place several inches of tap water into it. Next, place the pot on the stove top and set the heat to medium.

Now, in your pouring pot weigh out 445 grams of NG 100%Soy Wax. Then, place the pouring pot into the pot on the stove. Finally, place your thermometer into the pouring pot.

Warm the Jar: While your wax is melting, set your oven to the lowest setting possible. Next, place your apothecary jar on the cookie sheet then place the cookie sheet into the oven. Allow the jar to warm for 10-15 minutes, then remove.

As the wax melts, you will want to periodically check the temperature of the wax. Never let the temperature go higher than 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This may burn or discolor your wax. Remember to stir the wax occasionally as it is melting.

Once the wax is melted, remove the pouring pot from the stove. Turn off the heat. When the temperature of the wax reaches 185 degrees Fahrenheit, add 1 drop of Spectrum Yellow Candle Dye and 36 grams of Citronella Fragrance Oil. Stir.

After the color and scent have been incorporated into the wax, place your thermometer back into the wax.

Now, center and secure the wicks to your jar using wick stickers. You will be using (2) CD-10 wicks.

Stick a warning label to the bottom of the candle jar.

Check the temperature of the wax. Once it reaches 110 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the thermometer and give it one final stir.

Now, slowly pour the wax into the candle jar. Stop pouring where the candle jar changes shape. Finally, straighten your wicks and secure them in place with two wick bars.

Allow your candle to fully set up. Once the candle has hardened, place the lid on top. Now, allow your candle to cure for a period of 24-48 hours. When you are ready to light your candle, trim your wicks.
