Weigh Wax:
  • Weigh the amount of OK6228/1 candle wax needed for your project.
  • For 6 large muffin candles using a regular muffin pan we recommend 2lbs of wax for the bottom and 2lbs of wax for the top. We also recommend using a small wick zinc core wick (51-32-18).
Melt Wax:
  • Heat the candle wax to between 140°F-160°F using a double-boiler system.
  • Use a candle thermometer to check temperature.
Prepare Molds:
  • While wax is melting set up regular muffin pan by inserting 2 or 3 cupcake papers into each cavity.
  • Then place the appropriate size wick pins into into each cavity.
Add Scent:
  • Add up to 6% fragrance by melted wax weight not to exceed 1 ounce of scent to 1 pound of wax.
Add Dye:
  • Add dye until desired color is achieved.
  • You can test color by dropping a few drops of wax onto a piece of white paper.
Stir well:
  • Stir thoroughly to incorporate scent and dye.
Pour Wax:
  • Pour Wax into regular muffin pan.
  • Don't forget you will need to save some wax for the 2nd pour and topping.
Cooling:
  • Allow to cool as slowly as possible.
  • Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process.
Second Pour:
  • Once the first pour has completely cooled, remove the candles with wick pins from the pan to make sure it releases.
  • Return candles with wick pins to the muffin pan and top off the candles as needed.
  • After the 2nd pour has completely cooled candles are ready to be wicked and topped.
Insert Wick:
  • Remove candles from your muffin pan.
  • Remove cupcake papers and wick pins.
  • Insert appropriate wick for your candles. 
Topping the Candle:
  • Reheat remaining wax so you can top the candle.
  • Once the wax has melted, let it set up for a few minutes. 
  • Using a metal whisk, whip the wax. Your wax will change from liquid to an icing type consistency.
  • Once the texture is thick enough, with a spoon, mound top of the muffin candle, applying to the sides and top of candle.
  • Work quickly, use your fingers if necessary to smooth out.
  • Embed candle chunks into muffin candle.
  • Smooth around the edges of the embeds until you are pleased with the outcome of your muffin candle.
  • if wax becomes too stiff, place it back in a wet bath to melt and whip again until you have finished topping the candle.
  • Note: You may have to add a little more dye to wax, when whipped it becomes a lighter color.
  • Experiment and have a good time with making your muffin candles.
Trim Wick:
  • Trim wick as needed.

Never melt wax on a gas stove, it has a Flash Point & is Flammable.
Never leave wax unattended.
