Directions:

NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace. 

1. Use a wick sticker to adhere a CD 10 or 62-52-18 Candle Wick to each jar. 
2. Prepare your candle wax. Weigh out and melt 72 ounces of the Golden Brands GW 464 Soy Wax Flakes. Melt using a double boiler to 185F.  Add a small pinch of red dye flakes. As the wax is melting stir periodically. *As the color blends, dip a white plastic stirrer or plastic knife into the wax, remove it and allow it to set up, so that you can assess the color richness.  Add more of the dye flakes if desired. 
3. Add 7.2 ounces Love U Berry Much Fragrance Oil and stir for 1-2 minutes.  
4. Allow wax to cool to around 130F, and then pour 6.6 oz into each jar.  Use a wick bar to keep the wick centered and straight. Allow the wax to set up completely. 
5. Trim the wick to ¼”. Place a warning label on each jar. Allow to cure up to two weeks. 

*If not using lids, and you prefer to pour wax closer to top of vessel, yield will be 10 candles 
*We recommend testing wicks, as wick performance may vary based on amount of fragrance, wax, vessel, etc.
