Usage & Recommendations

How to Use Golden Brands 464 Soy Wax:

Heat wax to 185°F using a double boiler or dedicated wax melter.
Add colorant and stir thoroughly for even blending.
Mix in 1.5 oz. of fragrance per pound of wax, stirring gently for at least two minutes to ensure proper binding.
Allow wax to cool to 110°F—at this temperature, it should have a slushy consistency for optimal pouring.
Pour into candle containers and let them set at room temperature for a smooth, even finish.

Pro Tips for Best Results:

Fragrance Handling: Heavy fragrances (higher flash points) can be added at 185°F, while lighter, more volatile scents (such as citrus or florals) should be added at 160°F to prevent evaporation and enhance retention.
Proper Pouring Temperature: Pouring too hot can cause sinkholes or adhesion issues, while pouring too cool can result in lumpy tops. Aim for 110-135°F for best results.
Avoid Overheating: Do not exceed 200°F, as overheating can cause wax discoloration and degrade fragrance integrity. Additionally, overheating too much could lead to the wax reaching a flashpoint and causing a fire.
Minimize Frosting: Soy wax naturally develops frosting over time. To reduce this effect:

Use a heat gun or hair dryer on the surface of finished candles.
Allow candles to cool slowly in a draft-free environment.
Experiment with lower pouring temperatures to reduce crystal formation.

Curing for Maximum Scent Throw: While 464 Soy Wax offers excellent cold and hot throw, allowing candles to cure for 1-2 weeks before burning enhances fragrance performance.

Why Does My 464 Soy Wax Candle Have Wet Spots?

Wet spots (also called pull away) occur when the wax shrinks away from the container during cooling. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect performance. To minimize wet spots:
