What you will need:
Robot Silicone Mould
300g Prosoy Pillar Wax
TCR Wicks 27/16
30g Fragrance oil
Liquid Candle Dyes
Step 1: Prepare Your Containers and Wick
Before you begin melting the wax, set up your pillar moulds. Carefully pierce a hole in your Robot Silicone mould, big enough to fit your wick in.
Step 2: Melt the Wax
Melt your wax in your chosen melter. The wax should be fully melted and clear before you proceed. Use a thermometer to check that the wax temperature is between 77°C to 82°C, which is ideal for adding color and fragrance.
Step 3: Add Color and Fragrance
Once the wax is melted, it’s time to add your candle-safe dye. Stir until the color is fully mixed into the wax. If you’d like your candle to be scented, now is the time to add your chosen fragrance oil. Stir well to ensure the fragrance is evenly distributed.
Step 4: Pour the First Layer
Carefully pour your wax into the mould, trying to avoid any spillages. Allow to sit for for a couple of hours.
Step 5: De-mould your candle
Carefully de-mould your candle. The silicone will allow you to get your candle out with ease.
