Pouring the Candle

David Fisher
Bring the wax to about 180 degrees and stir in your fragrance oil and color chip. Mix for a couple of minutes.

Don't let the wax cool too much; you want to pour at about 170-180 degrees. Reheat if necessary.

Slowly pour the wax through the pour hole. If the wick goes off center, just move it back when you're done pouring.

You may need to do a second or third pour as the wax shrinks as it cools.

Set the candles aside to cool completely.
