I used fragrance oils from Candle Science (B0092RNCSY most of which were safe to add at 180 degrees F. 5) While wax cools, thread wicks through wick tabs (B001683N86 I fray the end that's going to the bottom of the candle so when I make the wick taught later I won't pull the wick out. Pour in just enough wax to cover the top of the wick tab. Let the wax you just poured cool until it's slightly opaque (should not be liquid, but not completely solid), and then press wick tab down gently (I used a chopstick) into the middle of your container. By the time the wax hardens, the rest of your wax should be ready to pour. 8) Let the rest of the wax continue to cool until 110-115 degrees F. Pour in the rest of the wax, leaving some space at the top of the container so wax won't overflow when burning later."
"After realizing such a thing was going to be very hard to find (or insanely expensive), I read a little bit about making my own, and decided it was worth a shot. I melted this wax in a double boiler made from a saucepan and cereal bowl, and ladled it into a cheap flowerpot from the dollar store. I made a test candle with some Gulf paraffin from Walmart and had some serious contraction problems as it hardened (leaving a big divot in the center), but the soy wax didn't seem to contract nearly as much. It's just about the cheapest wax you can find, so the quality was an extremely pleasant surprise. Echoing what others have said, this stuff is probably too soft for freestanding candle types."

When I give the boards to family or friends I also give a container of the finish along with info on how and how often to apply it to maintain the wood."
"After reading some negative reviews, I was worried there would be a smell to this beeswax, but there wasn't."
"This beeswax is integral for any DIY recipes involving hair/beard/moustache, and face products."
"I previously ordered from another brand and they didn't smell that way, but that's my only other experience with beeswax."
"Although I have since purchased my beeswax from another vendor for my encaustic painting (cost), this is quality beeswax and I would recommend it for anyone that does not need the quantity that I require."
"I use this for my homemade lip balms and have no complaints."
"I bought these white beeswax pellets, and another seller's yellow pellets, just in case I ran into the smell issue others complained about."

"One (minor) thing I'd like to see is the red and yellow bottles labeled."
"I tried, and my oil lamps look a little red, and quit brown, but not terrible."
"I bought clear PVC pipe cleaner added the oil dye and rubbed the solution on the pipe."
"I guess that what they meant by "minor cosmetic damage to top" is "the seals are all broken" and "good luck getting them open". There was quite a lot of the red oil die in the plastic baggie they were sent in, with evidence of some yellow leakage too."
"This works wonderfully.....I love it!"
"Very very concentrated colorant."
"Upon receiving the dye, I noticed that the yellow bottle had begun to leak inside its packaging."
