As the wax undergoes flaking, condensation from that process may soak into the flakes in small amounts. When you melt your soy wax, it will typically become clear as all the flakes melt, but on occasion you may notice the wax looks very cloudy, similar to how it looks as it cools and sets up after pouring. This is caused by either air or water becoming trapped in the wax during the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-allow-candle-wax-to-stay-between-85-95-c\"><strong>Allow candle wax to stay between 85-95\u00b0C<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holding the wax temperature between 85-95\u00b0C will allow any trapped moisture to evaporate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-give-the-candle-wax-time-to-air-out\"><strong>Give the candle wax time to air out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the cloudy wax is caused by trapped moisture, keep the bag open and unsealed to allow moisture to evaporate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-store-candle-wax-in-a-cool-dry-location\"><strong>Store candle wax in a cool, dry location<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Storing wax in a cool, dry area will allow excess moisture to evaporate and ensure that more moisture is not collecting in your bag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the manufacturing process, the soybean oil is being constantly stirred which allows air into the oil.
