440 gIGI 4630 Harmony Blend Paraffin

4×4 oz Seamless Travel Tin
10.0%Vanilla Bean (Fragrance Oil)

Burn notes

Approx. 22 hours per tin. Cure five days.

Compatibility notes

4 oz Seamless Travel Tin conducts heat — surface can exceed 60 °C. Always burn on a trivet or coaster. Never hold the vessel while lit. Warn customers on the burn-instruction label.

Method

01
Weigh the wax precisely. Paraffin is unforgiving with off-recipe ratios.
02
Melt the wax in a double boiler to 85°C, stirring to dissolve any flakes completely.
03
Stir in Vybar if used at the recommended dose. Hold at 85°C for two minutes to incorporate.
04
Cool the wax to 81°C, then add fragrance and dye and stir for two full minutes.
05
Let the wax come down to 76°C. Pre-warm vessels to 50°C.
06
Pour steadily. Paraffin can sinkhole, leave a small reserve and top up after the candle sets if needed.
07
Cool slowly at room temperature. Cure for three to seven days before the first burn.
08
Trim the wick to 5 mm. First burn: two to three hours to establish the full melt pool.
