Question 1

Which wax should I choose for a candle in glass?

Accepted Answer

Container waxes are made for jars and glasses — for example soy KeraSoy Container 4130, EcoSoya CB-Advanced or coconut Kerawax Coconut Container 4135. They adhere well to glass and give a smooth surface.

Question 2

Cotton or wooden wick?

Accepted Answer

A cotton wick is versatile, quiet and precisely tunable through its range of sizes. A wooden wick brings a crackling effect and an elegant look, and suits wider containers and soy or blended waxes. Decide by container diameter, wax type and fragrance profile.

Question 3

How much colourant should I add to the wax?

Accepted Answer

Start low, at roughly 0.05–0.2% of wax weight, and build the intensity in small steps. Sprinkle the colourant into fully melted wax, stir for 1–2 minutes and make a test pour before pouring the batch.

Question 4

Why run a burn test for every new recipe?

Accepted Answer

The fragrance composition, its concentration and the colourant all change how the flame behaves. Test with the real dosage and colour, watch the melt pool after 2–3 hours and adjust the wick size or type based on the result.
