What temperature should I pour at?

55-65°C. For best mould release, pour closer to 55°C. Pouring too hot can cause the wax to stick.

Do I need mould release spray?

No. The wax shrinks as it cools, releasing naturally from silicone and metal moulds. Plastic moulds may still benefit from a light spray.

Can I use this for container candles?

No. The shrinkage that helps with mould release will cause the wax to pull away from glass. Use Kerasoy 4130 for containers.

How long should I cure pillar candles?

48 hours minimum before test burning. For strongest scent throw, wait 2 weeks.

What fragrance percentage works best?

The wax holds up to 10%. Most fragrance oils perform best at 8%.

Why is my pillar cracking?

Cooling too fast. Move away from draughts and windows. Let cool at room temperature, undisturbed.

Yes. 100% plant-based with no animal-derived ingredients.

What wick should I use?

Start one size smaller than you would for pure soy. This blend burns slower. Test and adjust.

About Kerasoy 4120

You've been there. Pillar won't budge. You twist the mould. Nothing. Tap it on the worktop. Still nothing. Force it - and the edge chips off. Another batch ruined.

Kerasoy 4120 shrinks as it cools. That controlled shrinkage pulls the wax away from mould walls, so your pillars, votives and wax melts lift out clean. No release spray. No damage. No waste.

Made by Kerax in Lancashire - they've been blending candle wax since 1967. The pastille format melts evenly without hot spots. Melt point: 45-46°C. Pour at 55-65°C. For best release, pour cooler rather than hotter.

Takes up to 10% fragrance, but 8% is the sweet spot. Above that, you're paying for oil that won't translate to stronger throw. Cure for 48 hours minimum - two weeks for best scent.

Perfect for anything that needs to release from a mould: pillars, votives, wax melts, tarts. Not for containers - it'll pull away from glass. Use 4130 for jars.

4.8 stars from 247 makers. "Clean release." "Single pour." "No spray needed." Vegan and biodegradable.
