Tart/Wax Melt Making Instructions

Heat wax to 175° F (do NOT exceed 200° F as this may discolor and/or burn your wax). You can use microwave, double boiler method, old crock pot, or Presto kettle.
Weigh out enough wax to fill the number of clamshells that you are pouring (each clamshell holds approximately 3 oz. of wax).
Add color (1 dye chip will color approx. 1 lb. of wax to a medium shade.) (The dye chip should dissolve in the wax.)
The wax will hold 10-12% fragrance load (3 oz. of wax = .30 oz. of fragrance oil; 15 oz. of wax = 1.5 oz. of fragrance) (You can add a little more fragrance for a longer lasting tart.)
Stir gently for 2 minutes.
Allow wax to cool down to 120° F. The wax may be slushy in appearance, but this pouring temp will allow your tarts to have a smoother surface.
Stir again & pour into clamshell.
Allow to solidify at room temp.
When wax cools and hardens, you will be able to close the lid.
Allow to cure for 24 - 48 hours before using.
Soy wax creates a natural frosted look. To reduce this, apply heat to top of finished candles with a hair dryer.
