How to make it
Melt wax only in a double boiler, never leave it on the heat alone, and smother a wax fire with a lid, never water.
1Melt the wax
Melt the wax in the double boiler and bring it to 185 F.
2Add color
Stir in a small piece of dye chip until it dissolves. It looks darker melted than set.
3Add fragrance
Take it off the heat and stir in the fragrance for 2 minutes.
4Pour the molds
Let it cool to about 150 F and pour into the clamshells. Fill each cavity to the line.
5Let them cure
Close the lids once the wax is solid. Wait 48 hours before using or selling so the scent settles in.
6Label them
List the scent and a caution line on each label. Customers want to know what's in them.
Make a test batch at 6, 8 and 10 percent fragrance. Smell them in a warmer to find your sweet spot.
