How do you Used Cooking Oil as an Additive Component of Candle?

Used cooking oil can be used as an additive component of candles. Here are the steps on how to use it:

Materials:

* Used cooking oil

* Candle wax

* Wicks

* Candle jars or molds

* Heat-resistant containers

* Spoon

* Thermometer

Instructions:

1. Prepare the used cooking oil: Strain the used cooking oil through a fine mesh sieve to remove any food particles or impurities.

2. Melt the candle wax: Place the candle wax in a heat-resistant container and melt it over low heat. You can use a double boiler or microwave to melt the wax.

3. Add the used cooking oil: Once the candle wax is melted, add the used cooking oil to the container. The amount of used cooking oil you add will depend on the desired consistency of the candles. For a softer candle, add more used cooking oil. For a firmer candle, add less used cooking oil.

4. Stir the mixture: Stir the mixture thoroughly until the used cooking oil and candle wax are well combined.

5. Add fragrance oil (optional): If desired, you can add fragrance oil to the melted wax and oil mixture. Stir until well combined.

6. Insert the wicks: Place the wicks in the center of the candle jars or molds. Make sure the wicks are long enough to reach the bottom of the container and extend about 1/4 inch above the top.

7. Pour the mixture into the containers: Carefully pour the melted wax and oil mixture into the candle jars or molds.

8. Let the candles cool and harden: Allow the candles to cool and harden completely. This may take several hours or overnight.

9. Trim the wicks: Once the candles have hardened, trim the wicks to about 1/4 inch long.

Your candles made with used cooking oil are now ready to be enjoyed!

Note: Used cooking oil can make the candles softer than those made with pure candle wax. It is important to test different ratios of used cooking oil and candle wax to achieve the desired consistency. Additionally, be sure to use caution when handling hot wax and used cooking oil, as they can cause burns.
