1. The wax is dissolved at 90º C in a thick walled vat heated with steam.
  2. The wax has to be weighed to determine the quantity of pigment to be added. This is the only way to ensure each crayon will have the same colour tone.
  3. The wax is then put into a machine which works like a liquidizer and the pigments are added. The mixture is kept warm until it gets uniform.
  4. The mixture is then put in mouldes that will determine the shape of the crayon.
  5. The mouldes are then rapidly cooled with water for three minutes so the mixture solidifies.
  6. The crayons are pulled out from the mouldes, paper wrapped and then boxed ready for sale.
