Add your fragrance and wax together first at 167 degrees Farenheit to bind the fragrance to the wax. Stir for one minute then add color, glitter and oils. This will get a better texture and fragrance "throw" Throw means the amount of scent when burning. I hope this helps. You have to have all of it at the same temp and stir as you add....add a bit of oil and stir well....add some ore and stir....always stirring. If it seperates just heat it back up and stir until cool.
Thank you so much for the tips! I do want to try this again because even though the hot throw was great, I feel the texture was off! So thanks for this 🙌
Don’t know if you’re aware but you can do up to 20% FO with scoopable/squeezable wax melts 🫶🏾 Also it helps the wax and oil bind together if you add the oil to the wax while it’s hot and/or heat them together
Hiya, thanks for the tips. I thought the amount of FO used was dependent on the IFRA, especially if I was planning on selling them. I'm going to try adding the oil to wax! It makes sense, so thanks for that! Xx
I am curious how you get any fragrance throw not adding and mixing the fragrance at specific temperatures and mixing for the full amount of time to incorporate and bind it to the wax?
I thought I had replied to this.. 2nd time lucky... I wish I had the answer, although I've always found working with Soy 494 Wax pretty easy. The wax warmer I use maintains the wax at a certain temp, so I'm aware of the temp. Sorry if this didn't come across in the video. I'm not sure why you think I didn't mix for the full amount of time though- this is an edited video! Also, I think a lot of novice candle and wax melt makers underestimate the importance of using good quality FOs.
Hello, hopefully, I will do a video on this soon. However, wax from supplies for candles (although not sure if they currently have in stock) oils from Discount Candle Supplies and Candle Shack. Their Facebook groups are really helpful x
Hi, I did add a bit of Mica powder into the orange one, and I think the pink one was left over pink wax from another project (if I remember correctly!).

Saueezable was is different. You can add the 20%. And i agree, heat both oil and wax
I got tired of filling clam shells for wax melts. I pour into candle vessels with lids and scoop when needed. It's a time saver,.
@kimrawls5955 that's a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing 😊

Hey where do you buy all your wax and oils and etc in the uk thanks

Is it just me or did you not include the coloring??

This can’t be good to breath in when burning
How comes?
