All natural SoyWax™! All we can say is WOW! Our new SoyWax™ made just for Mabel White is the most versatile ONE POUR wax that we have ever seen. It Melts in HALF the time of Paraffin. Burns 3X longer than most Paraffin's and pours flat as a board in one pour EVERY TIME. This wax holds up to a 10% fragrance load with ease and burns 100% SOOT FREE! If you every use our SoyWax™ you'll never go back to paraffin wax again. Even cleans up with water. Comes in easy to handle flakes. Heat to 200 degrees and pour. For best results use our liquid o/b candle dye, o/b candle fragrance and our paper/cotton braided or hemp wicks. Our SoyWax™ has been tested with our fragrances, colors and wicks, and we cannot guarantee your results if using another company's products. Call for large quantity pricing over 500 lbs.

We like to add a little Mabel White's 100% pure beeswax chips, melted to our melted soy just prior to pouring.  We use up to 5% beeswax to 95% SoyWax™ and that seems to give it a beautiful opaque texture found in the Root Candle line.  Adding bees wax to the soy also gives it a longer burn time.  We use hemp wicks to further the spirit of burn times.  Generally just pouring melted soy with no color offers a beautiful vanilla look.

SoyWax™ CANDLE MAKING INSTRUCTIONS

Pour excess soy into 6 or 9 ounce tins!

Heat up a little Bees Wax if you have any, an hour prior to making these candles.  Beeswax is expensive but a few ounces in a 26 ounce container allows the candle to burn even longer and offers a beautiful over all texture.

1. Have your container and and wick ready.  Using a pencil to hold the wick taught.  We find it easier to add the wick just after we pour.  

Put the SoyWax™ flakes into your melting pot and use the candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. You want to heat the wax to about 200 degrees.  We actually heat 6 cups of soy flakes in the microwave for 12 minutes or so, until clear, in a pliable plastic bowl that we can pinch the front to pour.  SoyWax™is easy clean up, water soluble, so any pliable plastic bowl is OK.    Add OIL BASED fragrance oil and OIL BASED color while still hot, but do not pour until it gets a little cooler, like 110 degrees or it will not look creamy.  People who pour at 200 degrees get a mottled look.

2. You can do this to be perfect, but we do not.  Ours seem to come out fine without this step:  Heat your glass candle container in the oven set on low or warm. When the glass is very warm (not too hot) take it out.  If you live in cold areas, this may be wise.

3. Pour between 200 degrees and set your wick into the container. Use a pencil to stabilize the wick.  Colors always turn pastel with Soy.  Do not expect bright affects.  We add a hemp wick after pouring as hemp burns longer.  As we said above, at times we use no color as Soy has a nice off white color, great for Vanilla.  We add only a few ounces of fragrance to a 26 ounce 
batch, for example.  6 Cups usually give us 52 ounces, making two apothecary jars,  so we use about 4 ounces of fragrance total.  Adding a little melted beeswax will help achieve a beautiful opaque consistency.

4. Let cool completely (this may take a few hours).
