Facts on our Wax

Welcome to The Old Wax Shack! We offer a variety of scented 16 oz mason jar soy wax candles for every reason and every season. Every candle is hand poured with loving care. Our soy candles are made with a long burning soy wax and burn 85-100 hours. We suggest you burn a minimum of 4 hours to liquefy the entire top layer of wax to avoid "pooling". Trim the wick to ¼ inch and remove any debris left in wax pool before each burn. Store candles in a cool, dark and dry place with the lid on to keep them clean of dust and debris, and to help protect wax and fragrance.
