I noticed it that the wax you pour is thicker instead of liquid. Does that prevent the mica from settling on the bottom? Some pour at hotter temp which is why it liquid form but you pour at lower temp to make the wax a bit thicker. Which is better? Liquid or thicker wax pour?

Make sure you check the wax you're working with's suggested pouring temperature! We added mica to the wax before it cooled so that it would bind!

Why the powder starts to settle when the candle starts burning? Is it something related to the temperature when I add the powder in the making? Thank you

I’m finding once I’ve melted a wax melt the powder starts to settle in the burner. Also when I’m removing the melt from the burner it leaves the powder at the bottom - just generally messy. Is there any tips to help or anything I’m doing wrong?

Hi, are you using the correct amount? We suggested a 5% mica powder to wax ratio. Add the Mica Powder after your dye and fragrance oil and stir. We would also suggest curing your wax melts for around 2 weeks.

Hi Chasati. Yes of course :) It wont colour the wax quite the same as candle dye, but you definitely see the results.
