STRAHL & PITSCH proudly introduces our new line of all-natural candle blends...

PRODUCT  ADVANTAGES
  Complex blend of tropical fatty acids and esters.
  Ingredients are based on natural and renewable resources.
  Finished candles are unique in appearance and physical characteristics.
  Allows for higher fragrance loads with improved retention.
  Scuff resistant surface.
  Excellent release for molded candles.
  Outstanding adhesion in container candles.
  Clean, slow, even burn with little smoke when extinguished.

 HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS    PROCESSING GUIDELINES
  Varying the pour temperature will produce a variety of crystal shapes and sizes.     Recommended pouring temperature 185 to 195 F.
  Lighter colors give more contrast to the unique appearance.     Certain colors will enhance the crystal appearance.
  A non-metal core wick is recommended. *     Choose a wick that is slightly larger than what is normally used for the specific candle diameter.
  A small amount of heat applied to the surface will vary the appearance.     After the material has initially crystallized, break the surface.
  Various shape molds will give different textures.     For second pour, recommended temperature is 150 to 170 F.

*For further wick recommendations, call WICK IT at 866-394-2548
