Making Votives with PB: Make the first pour at 155°F by filling the mold to within 1/8 inch from the top. Allow the candle to cool until it's still warm with a congealed center that has no liquid. If the top of the candle has "skinned" over, poke two holes near the wick and pour a second time at 145°F to completely fill the votive mold.
Pillar Blend Double-Pour: When using EcoSoya™ PB two pours are required with larger candles such as 3 & 4 inch pillars. Do the first pour at 155°F by filling the mold to the top and allowing the candle to cool until it’s still warm with a congealed center that has no liquid. If the top of the mold (bottom of the candle) has “skinned” over and left a void inside, poke two holes into the candle near the wick and pour a second time at 145°F. Do not pour past the solidified wax of the first pour; in essence you are “filling” the first pour. Cool at room temperature; other cooling techniques used with paraffin have similar effects.
It has excellent scent throw working best with the US fragrances and is self-releasing from moulds. EcoSoya PB is made from pure 100% soybeans and carefully selected botanical oils. An easy to work with natural wax that has great "PC" and green marketing qualities.
Easy to measure out as the wax is in small flake form.
EcoSoya™ waxes should be stored in a cool dry location away from direct heat, sunlight and moisture. Temporary extremes in temperatures cold or hot have no adverse effect.
EcoSoya™ PB may be used with most any fragrance up to 10-12%. Burn pool size and depth greatly affect scent throw so proper wicking is essential. Some fragrances may react poorly with the wax causing bleed, objectionable frosting, or poor flame quality; try a different fragrance to eliminate it. |
