What is curing and how long does a soywax candle need to cure?
Curing is a kind of hardening process. There are two kinds of curing we think about, production cycle cure and end use cure. We use a production cycle curing guideline of 1 hour for every ounce. For example, a 2 oz candle should cure for about two hours and then you can top it off with a 1/8 inch layer of new wax to get a perfect surface. End use cure for all candles is about 72 hours total. By the end of 72 hours, the fragrance, wax hardness, etc., are optimum for burning your candle.
