| Soy 10 Instruction Sheet |  |
|
A natural soy wax blend for creating beautiful and long-lasting candles. Our heavy fortified Soy #10 wax boasts a hard buttery consistency that makes it easy to work with while maintaining excellent adhesion properties. With its superior heat resistance and sweat-resistant properties, Soy 10 is perfect for creating candles that not only look great but also perform exceptionally well in warmer environments. Capable of holding large amounts of fragrance oil, this wax delivers an amazing scent throw that will fill most rooms with your favorite fragrances. Whether you're a professional candle maker or just starting out, Soy 10 is the ideal choice for making high-quality candles in clear glass containers with little shrinkage and outstanding color retention.

| Before starting: Be sure to cover your work area to protect from spills. It is much easier to have your containers pre-wicked and ready before you begin to melt your wax. Using cotter pins or wick bars: Center the cotter pin on the top of the container, pull wick tight and slide wick into the slit. Be cautious not to pull too tightly or wick may release from bottom of the container. Check to ensure the wick is centered and adjust the cotter pin if needed. Now you are ready to begin the candle making process! |
| Step 1: Measure Out The Wax |
|
Weigh out the amount of wax required into your melting pitcher
|
| Step 2: Melt The Wax |
|
You may melt the wax on a gas stove or electric burner on low heat (Be cautious of overheating). The wax will need to be heated to about 200°F
|
| Step 3: Measure & Add Dye |
|
Once the wax is melted, add the desired amount of color and stir the mixture until it is blended thoroughly.
|
| Step 4: Measure & Add Fragrance Oil |
|
Now that your wax has reached 200°F you are ready to add the fragrance oil. It is most common to add 1 to 1.5 ounces of fragrance per pound of wax (For a stronger scent throw, we recommend 1.5 ounces of fragrance per pound of wax. Soy 10 will hold up to 2 ounces with most fragrances per pound of wax if you wish to go even heavier on the fragrance load.)
|
| Step 5: Mix & Pour |
|
Stir and mix all of the ingredients thoroughly at 200°F. Bring temperature down to 190°F and slowly pour the wax into your containers.
|
| Step 6: Allow To Cool |
|
Allow the candle to cool completely before removing your cotter pin.
|
| Step 7: Trim The Wick |
|
Trim the wick to ¼” length using wick trimmers, scissors or nail clippers.
|
| Step 8: Finishing Touches |
|
Add a label for your own branding and presentation if you wish. As with all products to be sold or given to friends and family it is always recommended to apply a caution label.

Congratulations! You have successfully made your container candles!
