I would love written directions for this? I would love the temp when you took it off the heat, what was the temp when you added the color, temp when you added the Fo, and temp when you poured. I noticed you had wax left over in both bowls, so one pound of this wax actually makes more than four clam shells?

Hello Donna! We melt the wax to 195 degrees, and add coloring. Drop melted wax temperature to 180 degrees and add 1 ounce of fragrance per pound of melted wax (you can go up to 1.5 oz if desired). For clamshells, we recommend to pour no higher than 150. All instructions can be found on our website under the Pillar of Bliss Wax description. Hope this helps! :) Have a great day! - Lima NG

What is the purpose of heating to 195 degrees only to drop the temperature to add FO?

I hate when they don’t tell you what temp to heat it to, what temp to add fragrance or what temp to pour. That’s kinda the most important parts don’t ya think?

would have been nice if you mentioned the temperature the wax was when you took it off and divided out and then what the temp was for when you added the FO and was it oz of FO to 8 oz of wax????. Sorry but the directions are not good, had I not been watching others who are detailed I wouldn't have a clue what you were doing.

Hello! The maximum fragrance load for Pillar of Bliss for wax melts is 2 oz of fragrance oil per pound of wax. For candles, it would be 1.5 oz of fragrance per pound of wax. :) - Lima NG

Thanks so much for the video! I also appreciate how many times you repeated in replies to comments your recommendation to melt wax to 195, add coloring, cool to 180 to add fragrance, and pour into clamshells no higher than 150. I have some lower flash point fragrances (127-147 range), would you recommend I not use them for this application? Thanks again!

Hello! We are so glad that you enjoyed the video! I personally use fragrances at a lower flashpoint in wax melts (such as our Loving Spell Fragrance oil and our Lemon Fragrance Oil) , but I add 2 oz of fragrance oil per pound of Pillar of Bliss wax. This works for me, and I've always had a lovely scent throw :) - Lima NG

Hi. I noticed you poured wax in clamshell without a second pour. It says on instructions on your site you should use a second pour to avoid dimples in the wax is this true?

Hello! Sometimes with candles you may get sink holes that occur around the wick. This isn't usually the case for clamshells. The Pillar of Bliss wax is a great wax and one pour works perfectly for me with wax melts. - Lima NG

It is easiest to clean them while the wax is still warm. If not you will need to heat it. You can simply wipe the wax off with a paper towel while it is warm. Once all the wax is out, you can wash them with dish soap.

Hi Mckenna! You can just keep the water at a medium heat. The amount of time that it takes to melt will depend both on the amount and type of wax.
