Hey Kerwin, can you tell me how to melt candle wax using a microwave?
Sure, before you start, make sure it's safe to microwave your candle wax. Not all types of wax are microwave-safe, and some can even catch fire or produce harmful fumes. Beeswax and soy wax are usually safe to microwave.
I have a soy candle, so I guess it is okay. What's the next step?
Great, you have the right type of wax. Next, chop or grate the candle wax into small pieces and put them in a microwave-safe dish. The smaller the pieces, the quicker it will melt.
Do I need to set a specific time or temperature for it to melt properly?
Not really, start with a minute on a medium-high setting, then stir it and heat again at 30-second intervals until it’s fully melted. Be careful not to overheat it as it may become extremely hot and potentially dangerous. Always handle with care!
Thank you so much Kerwin!
You're welcome! Remember to take precautions when dealing with hot wax, safety first!
