Available in liquid, powder or chip form, these colourants are incorporated directly into the melted wax. If you use \u003cstrong\u003epowdered dyes\u003c\/strong\u003e, you need to heat the wax to \u003cstrong\u003earound 75°C\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The ideal mould temperature would be \u003cstrong\u003e45-50°C\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoice of wicks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetable waxes, such as soy wax, often require slightly thicker wicks than those used for paraffin. But be careful: if the wick is too large, it can cause the wax to run or burn too much. On the other hand, a wick that is too thin may not melt the surface properly and create a tunnel around the flame. If the flame flickers or the burn doesn't seem even, don't hesitate to try another type of wick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor moulded candles, we recommend you use cotton wicks in coils. We have round or flat wicks for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCooling conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter casting, allow the candle to cool to room temperature (around 25°C), then rest it for at least 48 hours before use. This resting time allows the wax and fragrance to stabilise, ensuring optimal combustion and a beautiful finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe temperatures indicated above are based on our internal tests and may differ from the values mentioned in the supplier's technical data sheets.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe colour and shape of the shavings may vary depending on the arrival and harvesting of the crop.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerax","offers":[{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":46328852676860,"sku":"CR-SOY-4120-1","price":8.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 kg","offer_id":45973109833980,"sku":"CR-SOY-4120-5","price":39.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 kg","offer_id":45973109866748,"sku":"CR-SOY-4120-20","price":131.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"80 kg","offer_id":45973109899516,"sku":"CR-SOY-4120-80","price":479.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/1772\/5436\/files\/kerax-4120_af02f73e-b27d-422b-8f45-0ce72d6bf09c.jpg?v=1720710396","url":"https:\/\/tarredebougies.com\/en\/products\/soy-wax-for-moulded-candles","provider":"Terre de Bougies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
