 Instructions

 For large event sand candles simply pour the granulated sand wax into your compatible candle vase. Use a pre-dipped wick or remove the metal wick tab from a container wick and place the wick in the middle of the sand. Adjust the wick height to 1/4" and burn. Remove the burnt wick and the hard wax after blowing out and allowing the liquid wax portions to fully harden and cool. Add more sand wax or manipulate the left over sand wax. Add a new wick and burn again. These event style sand wax candles are designed for reusability.

For retail candles or candles designed to get a full melt pool add the sand wax to a pre-wicked container. Using a container that has a lid with a tight fit to the wax is recommended or heat gun the tops to make a full layer of solid wax for a full seal.

When dyeing or adding fragrance use a disposable sealable bag. We recommend to use 4-8 drops of dye and 6% for the max fragrance load (1 oz fragrance per pound). We have tested up to 30 drops per pound when using liquid dye as some colors are difficult to achieve (ie. Black, Red, etc.). When using a lot of fragrance or dye the sand wax may become clumpy and wet. When it is in this state it is difficult to manipulate and pour. We recommend to let the sand wax air out for a day or two to allow it to return to its fine grain form. Using a lot of dye may make the wax take on a petrol odor. This usually will dissipate as you let the sand wax air out properly before usage.After applying fragrance the sand wax will be quite oily and clumpy. Best practices would have you let the sand wax air out in the open for 24-48 hours. We have tested the Sand Wax at 6% fragrance loads, but recommend a maximum load of 3% if you wish for the sand wax to return back to its drier granular form after drying or airing out.

Take note of your candle pouring environment as colder room temperatures or cold glass may require a hotter pour. The inverse may also be true for pouring candles in hotter environments.

 Recommended Wicks and Wicking

Recommended Wicks: Single CD Series Wick or CCS #92 Sand Wax Wick

 For Event Sand Wax Candles By Container Diameter:

 CCS Sand Wax #92 wicks are a specialized wick for use with Sand Wax. A stable burning wick that is also compatible with a wide variety of 4-5 inch or more container diameters. Finally one wick that is suitable for different diameter containers when used with CCS Granulated Sand Wax and it's color variants.

 Note: Event candles are not designed to get a full melt pool. The liquid wax will drain into the sand and tunnel down when burning. Removing the left over solid wax, replacing the wick, and adding or sweeping the left over sand wax flat is necessary to reuse the candle. When selecting your wick the main thing you are picking is how large your flame will appear. It is still important to dial in wick sizing some what as you do not want to burn too hot for your diameter.

 For Retail or Full Melt Pool Candles By Container Diameter:

Note: Retail or Full Melt Pool Candles are designed to burn as a normal candle. Pooling out more effectively to reduce tunneling and enhance fragrance throw and candle life. The wick is typically bonded to the bottom of the container before pouring. Heat gunning or sealing the top will also help with the initial melt pool and may be necessary for wider containers.

Recommendations for wicks based on the type of wax used. Fragrance loads and fragrance types may change wick recommendations. Do factor in the jar height as candles may retain more heat causing the candle burn hotter than normal as it burns deeper in a given vessel.

CCS Granulated Sand wax is a candle lover's and hobbyist's dream. There are so many usages for this wax outside of making event candles, which of course this wax is so well suited for too. Making cost effective and luxurious looking sand wax candles has never been easier. All that is required is pouring the wax into a thick candle compatible glass or vase. CD wicks are great option with this sand wax and the CCS Sand Wax Wick #92 is an excellent versatile wick that is set up for most 4-5" or more diameter sizes. The sand will keep the wick upright for quite a while during the burn. Leave 1/4" of the wick exposed above the sand to light when ready. When the event is over simply blow out the candle and let it cool for a bit. Allow the wax to harden and then pull out the solid chunks and wick. Add some more sand wax and sweep the sand wax so that it is flat. Replace with a new wick and you are ready to use this candle again. This wax can be dyed or fragranced by shaking and dissipating dye or oil throughout the sand wax in a disposable bag. Layer different colors, use different fragrance oils, the usage and combinations are nearly limitless. To make things more fun this wax also floats. Fill up one of your event vases a third or half way with water. Fill the sand on top for a floating sand wax event candle. Use food coloring to dye the water and liquid candle dye to dye the wax for unique and fun looking candles. When making candles for retail to sell for personal usage it is important to remember the sand wax is loose. Using a container that has a tight seal to the wax may necessary to keep all the contents in its container and to prevent messes. Sealing the top of the wax with a heat gun is recommended for retail usages as this will also help keep the contents in its glass. This is important to also keep your sand wax candle designs safe and free from being disturbed. Using the sand wax as decoration for the top of your finished candle projects is also fun as you can create icing and color effects for fun and eye catching candle displays.
