Soy wax is a natural product, and may vary slightly from batch to batch. Sometimes you will get oily flakes that clump together and sometimes they will be very dry and crisp. When the wax is clumpy or oily it is usually due to the outside temperature or higher oil content in the wax. This is nothing to be alarmed about and you should follow regular soy candle making procedures.
Heat candle wax to 85°C
If the clumping you see in your wax is due to excess moisture or humidity, heating your wax to 85ºC – 95ºC and holding it there for about 5-10 minutes will help it evaporate out.
Clumpy candle wax happens
Clumpy wax happens from time to time and the longer you work with soy wax, the more familiar you’ll become with this issue.
