How to use:

Heat the paraffin wax to its melting point, typically around 140°F (60°C)

Use a double boiler or a wax melter for controlled heating.

Once melted, mix in fragrance oils and dyes if desired. Paraffin wax holds scents well, making it ideal for scented candles.

Carefully pour the melted wax into candle molds or jars. Ensure the wick is centered for an even burn.

Allow the wax to cool and harden at room temperature. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracks.

Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before lighting to ensure a clean, steady flame.
