Put desired amount of wax into your melting pot and place on heat source for melting (do not use double boiler, this will take your wax too long to melt and you may inadvertantly add water to the wax which may cause more issues).
Do not leave wax melting unattended,(scented wax has a lower flashpoint), no wax should be left unattended while melting.
Once the wax is melted, add colorant and fragrance oil (if desired), mix well, allow about 10 minutes for color and FO
to thoroughly blend with the wax.
While wax is melting, prepare the molds. Rubber molds do not require a mold release,
but plastic molds do. For plastic molds, spray the mold lightly with a good quality mold release, we do not suggest the
use of cooking pan sprays, they still allow the wax to ahere a little to the plastic.
When the wax is at 217° it is ready for pouring. 217° F was the optimum pouring temperature for when we blended our wax.
(You can go as high as 219° F for use with plastic molds, but any higher will warp and melt them.
Yellow rubber molds can handle temps up to 245° and Polyurethane rubber or Silicone molds can handle temp over 300°.)
Pour wax into the molds and set aside to cool. Once the wax is cool unmold the embeds.
Using a paring knife, trim any excess wax from the embeds, you can also use an old pantyhose to buff & polish the embeds.
Tip: If your wax piece comes out with a whitish looking film on it, try pouring at a lower temp.
We have found that the best temp to pour wax at is 217° - 219°.
