Looking for a wax that
is sustainable, Eco-friendly and virtually soot free? Do you want that same wax
to be unique looking with excellent hot and cold scent throw? Our palm waxes
may be for you! Our Granite Palm wax creates a unique crystal structure within
the candles interior and exterior during the cooling process that creates
patterns that look similar to the star-burst pattern of natural granite. Our
palm waxes come from RSPO sources and are made from 100% natural palm based raw
materials and contain no paraffin/polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Granite Palm
Wax 5801-A comes in granular form for easy weighing and storage and can be used
to make pillar candles, votive candles, wax melts and taper candles. A very
versatile wax with an exceptionally unique look!

Instructions for use:
Palm wax is
best suited for use in seamless aluminum molds. Liquid, chip and powdered dyes
seem to work best in palm waxes. Other dyes may interrupt the crystalline
structure and appearance of the wax.
Heat wax to 205-210* add dye, blend well and then add fragrance and blend well.
Granite palm wax will hold up to 6% fragrance by weight. Pour the wax between
200-205* into heated molds for best results. This wax will require re-pours. Wait
until the surface of the candle has crusted over, poke multiple relief holes through
the surface of the candle around the wick and about 3/4 of the way down the
candle, the candle center will still be fluid at this point and fill with
reserved wax heated 10* hotter than the first pour. Repeat this process as
needed. Palm waxes should be cooled a slowly as possible to inhibit the crystal
structure to form fully. This can be done in a Styrofoam cooler or other
insulated box. It is advised to use mold release when making palm candles in
any mold.

*We
can only offer recommendations as to what wax will perhaps work best
for you but we cannot guarantee any certain wax to work best in any
application because of the many variables involved. The only way to
determine the appropriate wax selection is by experimentation. Test
burning will be necessary to determine the best wax for your candles! For testing, we offer for purchase, 10 pound slabs or bags of wax.
