1. Preparation
Prepare a clean and dry container suitable for candles. Choose an appropriate wick, considering its size relative to the diameter of the container, the dyes used, and the fragrance.

Add a compatible fat-soluble dye. For some powdered and liquid dyes, the manufacturer describes mixing at approximately 95°C. Stir until evenly distributed.
4. Fragrance

The temperature can be adjusted according to the container used, dye, fragrance, and desired effect. Higher temperatures may cause bubbles around the wick.

Important recommendations
- Work with a thermometer and good ventilation.
