How to use candle varnish?

Using candle varnish is very simple. Our recommendation is to perform a dipping technique, although you could also use a brush to apply it.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to varnish candles:

Thoroughly mix the varnish with a metal spatula to disperse the color particles and achieve a consistent tone. Insert the spatula to the bottom and vigorously stir for a few minutes. Keep in mind that color particles tend to settle at the base of the container, so thorough mixing is essential, with special emphasis on the bottom. Mix until the varnish becomes homogeneous and consistent. This process might take several minutes, but it's crucial for the expected outcome.

Pour the varnish into a wide and deep plastic container.

Hold the candle by its wick and dip it into the varnish for a few minutes.

Allow it to dry completely.

Remember that if the base candle had dark colors, it's advisable to give it multiple dipping sessions. In this case, ensure it dries completely between each immersion.

Lastly, seal the varnish container tightly and store it in a dry place without drastic temperature changes.

For applying any type of coating or varnish to a candle, it's essential that the candle's surface is thoroughly cleaned. Keep in mind that waxes and paraffins are inherently greasy, and if you've used a mold release agent during their creation, it's necessary to clean the candle before coating to ensure proper adherence. Otherwise, the surface will remain oily, and the varnish will slip off and not adhere. To clean the candle, it's ideal to use 96% alcohol. Soak a cloth and rub the surface until it's clean and free of grease residue. The diluents of the varnish can also be used.
