Palm wax C09 for making candles in moulds. Heat the palm wax in a water bath, add colourant or fragrance, and pour into the prepared mould. The melting point is 57–63°C; once set, the palm wax forms a frosted, ice-crystal pattern. Don't forget to choose a wick designed for palm wax and a wick sustainer tab to suit your particular mould. Before lighting for the first time, the candle must cure for at least 48 hours. Never melt it in the microwave! Never leave a lit candle unattended, and place it on a heatproof coaster.
