Question 1

What wax should I use for wax melts?

Accepted Answer

Any container soy works, but melt-specific or pillar blends release more easily from clamshells and silicone moulds. Melts can also carry a slightly higher fragrance load than candles.

Question 2

How much fragrance for wax melts?

Accepted Answer

Wax melts shine at 8-10% load since there is no flame to throw the scent. Stay within your wax’s maximum load to avoid sweating.

Question 3

How long do wax melts take to set?

Accepted Answer

Clamshells and small moulds set in 1-2 hours, but let them cure 48 hours before judging the scent — cold throw improves noticeably with cure time.
