How to Make Candles : More Ways to Make a Soy Candle

You need to read what the temperature is for each fragrance, they vary per scent and you will have to heat each batch of wax according to temp. requirements for each scent. Otherwise, you won't get the full scent from the fragrance you are looking for.

what would happen if you use the fat from ground beef ect. as wax would it work?

[ifonlyheknew95]

it would start to smelly really bad

[gumnutbabyB]

Well I think candles were originally made from animal fat so yeah it probably would work. I wouldn't recommend it tho as it would be rather smelly I would imagine!

@cmritchie04 You can't make a regular candles with animal fat, if you want to use the animal fats you will need to get moss wicks, real moss is best, I have seen them available online, just google it. Also it takes a special type of vessel for holding the fat, stone is the best. The lamp will have a small shallow depression in the top of it, with about a Tbls. worth of space. The fat goes in the well, moss wick on top. If you google "stone lamp" you should be able to find it, good luck.

160 degrees, he said.

what temp do you have to pour the wax

[leanncraigo]

@samial123 better to pour soy at 110 at a slushy state. No frosting will occur, better adhesion to the sides of jar and a smooth creamy appearance
