My son made a soy wax candle in layers using crayons for the color. It is beautiful. However, after it was all done, the next day we can see some lines around the jar in a few places. the lines are not the same color as the wax in those spots. Any thoughts as to what this may be? He is taking it to the fair for 4-H so want to make sure this isn’t a fatal flaw. Thanks!

I am using the Millenium wax. The directions say to heat it to 160 and add the following at 130. On a test candle, I barely had a hot throw. Should I up the temp that I add the following in?

Hello,
I love your site. I am struggling with getting a good hot throw. I am currently using 444 soy wax. I use 1 oz fragrance with 1 lb wax. I heat my wax to 180 and let it cook. I add fragrance when the wax reaches around 110 and stir for 2 minutes. I then pour wax. Candles look beautiful and have a great cold throw, but the hot throw is lacking. I have done a lot of research and I think max fragrance is recommended as 2% or 2 oz per pound of wax. Any suggestions?

In reply to SoyCandleMakingTime. 2 7/8" is the diameter of the candle. And I am using .5 oz of FO to 8oz of wax

In reply to Katherine. Katherine, what diameter is the jar you are using? How much fragrance oil?

Hi,

I am having issues with my wick mushrooming in my jar candle. I am using a CD wick (size 8), which I heard was not suppose to mushroom. I am also using 415 Golden Wax poured at 100 Degrees and Bitter Creek South Mango FO which I added at 180 degrees. (I also am getting little to no hot throw). Any ideas on what this issue might be?

Thank you!

Katherine

Hi,

can you please help me!!! i been watching your videos and have been following what you been saying. I love all your videos. I just recently started making soy candles and I mus say i love it. Unfourntely I am starting to feel like I am wasting my money because I am not getting a good hot throw from them… I don’t even know if I can sell the ones that I have. Now some of mine smell amazing but then other don’t have anything. I have used pine and it is amazing but i also used Egg Nog and it is horrible. Im considering going to parrafin because i been reading that soy wax will not give off a hot throw. Can you help!!! any advice would be great, i feel like i should give up but I don’t want to because I love it!!!
