Recommended wick / candle diameter (in mm):

diameter 25 - 30 mm*: Cervino 42 BK

diameter 30 - 35 mm*: Cervino 45 BK

diameter 35 - 40 mm*: Cervino 48 BK

diameter 40 - 45 mm*: Cervino 54 BK - MG 27/8 ES

diameter 45 - 50 mm*: MG 27/8 ES - MG 30/10 ES

diameter 50 - 60 mm*: MG 30/10 ES

diameter 60 - 65 mm*: MG 30/10 ES - MG 33/12 ES

diameter 65 - 70 mm*:  MG 33/12 ES

* These measurements are based on tests carried out in the laboratory using vegetable waxes free of fragrances and / or colors and are to be considered as simple suggestions. Testing is the only way to perfectly match wicks and waxes. In case of use of fragrances it is recommended to increase the wick size by one measure.

METHOD OF USE

MELTING POINT: 54-60 °C

Step 1: Melt the wax - The wax should be heated to a temperature between 65 ° C and 75 ° C. Do not melt the wax at a temperature above 75 ° C. In case of exposure to too high temperatures for prolonged times the wax will tend to discolour.

Step 2: Add colors or fragrances - Once the wax has melted completely, add colors and / or fragrances. Always stir the mixture to ensure complete absorption. Recommended percentages of fragrance: 6-8%. Recommended percentage of color: 0.2%. 

Step 3: Prepare the wax - After the wax has completely melted, lower the temperature to 60-65 ° C. This will reduce the risk of the wax breaking or unevenly shrinking during cooling.

Step 4: Pour in the wax - Make sure the mold is perfectly clean and at room temperature (or slightly warm) for a smoother result. Insert the wick of your choice and pour in the wax. Leave to cool until it has completely solidified. N.B. If poured too hot, the wax could create frosting or holes that would damage the surface of the candle. Should there be any difficulty in removing the candle from the mold, it is possible to facilitate the extraction by placing the still full mold in a fridge for some hours.
