candledisaster Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I came across this patent and it mentions two things... Stir FO for at least 20 minutes Heating up to 75°C (167°F) and not above Where typically I read mixing is a 2-3 minutes and heating is above 85°C. Their blend doesn't seem to be anything that's unheard of, Paraffin, Microwax, Soy wax, SE and Vybar. I'm quickly making a homemade stirrer, 3d printer + some electronics to roll up some tests - no way am I going to sit here for 20 minutes stirring. Also any opinions on covering the mixing container/jug while stirring? Any opinions on this or has anyone found these two variables working better generally - bath and body know what they're doing I presume!

TallTayl Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Many bath products need to mix for long times to fully incorporate the many different phases of ingredients. in general candles can benefit from long, thorough mixing also 😊 especially larger batches where a quick stir might not reach all of the components.

ShelleyF Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Magnetic stirrer machines work great. I hate stirring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
