step-by-step instructions

step 1: prepare your candle bowl

Make sure your candle bowl is clean and dry.

Download and print our free Wick Placement Template. Place the template on a flat surface and position your glass bowl on top. You should be able to see the wick positions through the bottom of the glass.

step 2: attach your wicks

Attach a Wick Stickum to the bottom of each of your four LCS Turbo wicks.

Remove the backing and carefully place each wick on the marked positions inside the bowl. Press firmly to keep them in place.

step 3: secure your wicks

Use your wooden wick centring tools to keep the wicks straight and in position.

For this large bowl, you can tape two wooden tools together to make longer holders. Place them across the bowl and secure them with pegs if needed.

step 4: melt your wax

Weigh 1581g of A05 Superior CocoSoy Wax and melt it in your wax melter.

Heat the wax to approximately 60–65°C.

step 5: add your fragrance oil

Weigh 119g of your favourite fragrance oil (7% of the total mixture).

Add the fragrance oil to your melted wax and stir gently for 1–2 minutes until everything is well mixed.

Always check the IFRA document for the maximum fragrance percentage.

step 6: pour your candle

Slowly pour the scented wax into the centre of your candle bowl.

Leave approximately 1cm of space at the top for a clean finish.

Make sure your wicks stay straight and in the correct positions.

step 7: let your candle set

Leave your candle to cool and harden for at least 24 hours without moving it.

If the surface is uneven, you can carefully smooth it with a heat gun.

final step: finish your candle

Once the candle has fully hardened, remove the wick holders and trim each wick to approximately 5mm.

Allow the candle to cure according to your wax and fragrance recommendations before lighting.
