Soy Wax Melting Safety Concerns
Soy Wax Melting Safety Tips For Scented Soy Candles
Here is what not to do when you burn your soy candles
Halloween, Christmas and Thanksgiving are coming soon, and more people make, use, and give candles as gifts then any other time of the year. So I just wanted to urge everyone not to forget safety concerns.
Learn how long to burn soy candles, how to trim the candle wicks each time, and how to prevent tunneling which the candle on the left exhibits. When candle wax burns down to the base of a glass container, there is a risk the glass could shatter from the heat. The spilling wax, and flames could start a fire. (Click here for more safety tips)
When you work with flammable candle wax making candles you must be extremely vigilant, and NEVER get distracted for any reason.
This is just one of the many reasons, I only make candles using soy wax. Although soy candle wax has a higher flash point than paraffin wax, spontaneous combustion will still occur if the wax is allowed to overheat.
The melting point of soy wax is normally between temperatures of 110°F and 130 °F. While water boils at 212° F, well below flash point’s of soy waxes, or paraffin wax.
Understanding the flash point of every wax you use is very important. Each one can be different. When any wax reaches it’s given flash point it will burst into flames by itself. You must understand the wax may not bubble or smoke, and when it explodes flaming wax can be thrown in every direction.
Avoid this potential catastrophe! Don’t risk burning down your home, or serious injury. Always use a double boiler, or a candle wax melter when you are making your candles, and follow all candle making instructions, and read any instructions from the candle wax manufacturer. A word to the wise – if the wax is smoking it’s too hot .
Never melt wax in a microwave! You cannot control the temperature wax is heated up to, and microwaves vary tremendously in output strength. For example, the butter in my microwave peanut brittle recipe burns in one microwave, and does not finish cooking in another microwave because of lower wattage.
Several soy waxes I’ve looked at recently have flash points between 450°F and 600°F. In comparison, many paraffin waxes list flash points near 395°F. The melting point of soy wax between temperatures of 110°F and 130 °F
Just one more thing. Never burn candles in front of open windows where curtains may be blown towards them from a breeze. Never burn candles where children or pets are, because they will always do the unexpected.
Let’s have a happy, healthy, wealthy, and joyously prosperous holiday season!

Make A Soy Teacup Candle
Many ”beautiful” Teacups and Saucers can be found in thrift stores. They make a really beautiful addition to any product line you might be trying to sell, or just to use as a great gift for birthdays, holidays, or perhaps a special occasion.
Here are items you will need to make Teacup Candles:
You Will Need The Following:
1. Teacups (the saucer is optional) I found these at the local Salvation Army Thrift Store.
2. Soy Candle Container Wax (I buy mine from Candlewic.)
3. Candle Wick (Make sure the wick will be a minimum of 1″ taller than the top of the teacup)
4. Candle dye and Candle Scent (optional)
5. Stacking Pour Pots (Make a double boiler)
6. Thermometer
7. Hot Glue Gun
Teacup Soy Candle Directions:
Set a Candlewick In Your Soy Teacup Container
1. First wash saucer and teacup, and wipe them completely dry.
(You don’t want water in the wax, or water spots on your finished teacup or saucer.)
2. Select a candle wick, adhere it to the bottom center of the teacup using your hot glue gun. (I use a the hollowed out portion of a bic pen, run my candlewick into it, because it makes it easier to press the wick in place exactly where i want it.)
3. Center your candle wick and hold it in place on the top of the candle container. (I use the glue to hold the wick on the dowel, and a bit on the side of the container to hold the dowel centered while I am making the candle).
4. Add wax into your double boiler, melt it, and add dye and fragrance following a soy candle recipe, or manufacture’s directions.
5. Pour melted wax into your teacup container.
6. Let candle cure for a minimum of 24-48 hours before lighting.

7. Trim candle wick to 1/4 inch before lighting it.
To give you a better idea on how inexpensive it was for me to buy two sets of teacups, I bought two separate cups and saucers for only $2.00. When I am making these candles at home, I will make up more than one type of candle in different containers to maximize my time. Because they are unique, and can be gift wrapped very nicely, these will quickly sell for a nice little profit.
Making scented soy candles can be a very lucrative home based business model, for more information on how to get started including writing a business plan, scenting your soy candles, complete instructional guide books on how to make soy candles and tealights can be found on the homepage of Scented Soy Candles.
