Instructions for Making Your Own Wax Embeds

• Scottcrew Enterprises' Embed Blend Wax
• Colorant: Color Block/Liquid Dye (if desired)
  Color mixing suggestions for embeds can be found HERE.
• Fragrance Oil (if desired)
• Mold
• Mold Release (if using plastic mold)
• Pan or Melting Pot to melt wax in
• Thermometer, preferrably a digital one, for extra control you may want to have one with a temperature alarm (They are about $20 in Target)

While wax is melting, prepare the molds. Rubber molds do not require a mold release, but plastic molds do. For plastic molds, spray the mold lightly with a good quality mold release, we do not suggest the use of cooking pan sprays, they still allow the wax to ahere a little to the plastic.(Scottcrew Enterprises carries a mold release in our store. Visit our Supplies page to purchase a can of mold release)

When the wax is at 217° it is ready for pouring. 217° F is the optimum pouring temperature for our wax. (You can go as high as 219° F for use with plastic molds, but any higher will warp and melt them. Yellow rubber molds can handle temps up to 245° and Polyurethane rubber or Silicone molds can handle temp over 300°.)
Pour wax into the molds and set aside to cool. Once the wax is cool unmold the embeds.
Using a paring knife, trim any excess wax from the embeds, you can also use an old pantyhose to buff & polish the embeds.
Tip: If your wax piece comes out with a whitish looking film on it, try pouring at a lower temp. We have found that the best temp to pour wax at is 217° - 219°.
