Process for making single candles


Recommended Posts

I have come to realize that my process for making a single candle is significantly different from the process I use for making a larger batch. The biggest difference is how much my wax cools over the two minutes of stirring, sometimes dropping to 160⁰. I was wondering how other people deal with this issue.

I haven't noticed any difference with 4627 and the likes, I just make sure I add the FO immediately after taking it off the heat at 190 and stir it quick, but I barely stir it for a minute in small amounts and never had a problem. If you want it to stay at a certain temp then just get one of those single tabletop hotplates, they're cheap.
