Match vessels with firing tickets.

For those with staff poured scent options, place the firing ticket with the vessel(s) and place in the designated "vessels waiting to be poured" area. Additional non-candle pieces can be wrapped  with the 2nd copy of the firing ticket and left in the "waiting on candles" area. We will text them their pieces are ready after we have filled the candle vessel and allowed it time to set.

For those with "DIY Pour Experience" designation, sign them up for the next DIY experience night online through the internal scheduler. They will get an email to change the date/time at their convenience. Then, place the firing ticket and vessel(s) in the "DIY Pour Experience" holding space. 

🧼 1. PREPARE VESSEL OR MOLD

• Ensure the vessel is dry, clean, and room temperature.

• Stick wick(s) to the bottom center of the vessel using wick stickers or a dab of hot glue.

  • For vessels: use 2 wicks evenly spaced.

  • For molds: use 1 wick each unless multi-wick is clearly indicated.

• Secure wick(s) upright using centering sticks.
  
  

🌈 2. SELECT SCENT & COLOR

• Guests may mix and match all 10 scents and 4 colors.
  We have swatch papers to test scents.

🔥 3. POUR THE WAX

• Wax should be at a safe pouring temperature (135–145°F).
  Prep by pre-heating 3lbs (minimum) of wax pellets for 20 minutes by setting the temperature dial and flipping the switch to "on".

• Add fragrance oil to wax at ~10% ratio (about 8 drops total)

• Add dye drops based on desired intensity (1 to 3)

• Guests slowly pour wax into the vessel/mold, leaving ~¼” at the top.

• Staff should supervise closely during this step to avoid burns/spills.

• Tap the vessel gently to release air bubbles.

• Adjust centering sticks if wicks shift.
  
  

🏷️ 4. LABEL & STORE

• Write guest’s name & date on a piece of masking tape placed on a tray.

• Place candle in level, undisturbed storage area to set overnight.

• Confirm pickup window: available next day, held for 30 days.
  
  

♻️ NOTES

• Cracked or faulty candles may be repoured if the original is returned.

• No outside vessels are permitted at this time.

• Refills of studio-made vessels are $15 (staff-poured only, not DIY).

🔥 While Wax Is Still Warm (Preferred Method):

1. Wipe First, Not Rinse

   • While the wax is still warm (not hot), wipe out as much as possible using paper towels.

   • Dispose of waxy towels in a trash can—never pour wax down the sink.
     
     

2. Use Rubbing Alcohol

   • Spray the inside with rubbing alcohol.

   • Let it sit for 30 seconds, then wipe thoroughly with a clean paper towel.
     
     

3. Final Wash

   • Use warm water and dish soap to wash out remaining residue.

   • Dry completely with a towel to avoid wax re-solidifying in the vessel.
     
     

❄️ If Wax Has Hardened:

1. Gently Reheat

   • Boil water in electric kettle and pour into vessel to soften. Allow to cool and wax will float to the top.

   • Boil water again and pour into vessel to soften any remaining wax on the walls; pour out hot water.

   • Once soft, follow the wipe and spray method above.
     
     

🚫 DO NOT:

• Don’t pour wax down any drains (it will clog your plumbing).

• Don’t use scalding water directly in wax-filled vessels—wax will float and stick to pipes.

• Don’t use abrasive scrubbers on your silicone molds—they’ll lose their non-stick finish.
