Making candle wax from scratch requires resin powder, but in case it’s unavailable, you can use mica or epoxy powder instead to create the wax. But it’s important to note that if you use any other ingredient in place of the resin powder, your candle wax may change in terms of texture and other properties. I recommend experimenting with various ratios and techniques to ensure that you achieve a desirable outcome before making any recipe modifications.

The amount of candle wax produced from your recipe may vary depending on the specific measurements and method of preparation you choose to use. Certain factors like the quantity and type of ingredients you use might also affect the yield of the candle wax.

Typically speaking, most candle wax recipes have yields ranging from 80% to 90% of the total weight.

Hi Morgan,

Sorry for the late response.

You should heat it enough to get a proper nice mixture later on. Related to the burn-off, it is not really normal to have them.

Let me know if you have more questions. Cheers!

Also is it normal to have a lot of burn off?

Hi Janine,

It’s 220 degrees celsius. Thanks for that, I will fix it now in the article. 🙂

Please let me know if you have more questions. Cheers!
