MATERIALS

• Tart Wax - approximately 68 grams per mould
• Six cavity clamshell moulds (or other melt moulds)
• Fragrance (optional) - approximately 8% by weight or 6 grams per mould
• Mercury Thermometer

METHOD

• Double boiler setting

STEP 1: PREPARING THE WAX

Measure out the appropriate amount of wax you would like to use. Each clamshell mould requires approximately 74 grams of wax and fragrance. So a good figure to use is 68 grams of wax per clamshell mould and 6 grams of fragrance. If you are not using fragrance, use 74 grams of wax.

So if you were to pour 5 clamshell moulds at once, you would melt 340 grams of wax and 30 grams of fragrance.

STEP 2: MELTING THE WAX AND ADDING COLOUR

Melt the wax as per the manufacturer's instructions. We recommend a double boiler setting to heat the wax. You can also add in your candle colour if desired. Click here for information on which colours to use and how much.

STEP 3: ADDING FRAGRANCE

Add the fragrance at 8% by weight and mix thoroughly.

STEP 4: POUR

Carefully pour the wax mixture into clamshell moulds. Ideally you should not fill your clamshell mould all the way to the top, but rather 5mm below the top so that you can easily close the lid of the mould.

STEP 5: CURE

Allow to set for at least 24 hours.

STEP 6: FINISHING OFF

You may either leave the melts in the mould and use, or sell them using the packaging as a container. Alternatively, you can carefully remove them from the mould and house them in new packaging. Then you can gently wash your mould with a paper towel and rubbing alcohol and use it again in the future!
