Troubleshooting Tips for Candle Making
Issues with Surface Finish
-
Increase Pouring Temperature: Try pouring at a temperature that is 5-10°F (2.8-5.6°C) hotter.
-
Avoid Certain Surfaces: Do not let your candles cool on marble or granite surfaces, as they absorb heat too quickly.
-
Use a Second Pour or Heat Gun: Consider a second pour or using a heat gun to smooth out the surface.
Weak Fragrance Throw
-
Cure Time: Ensure your candles cure for at least two weeks to maximize fragrance effectiveness.
-
Fragrance Addition Temperature: Add fragrance at 160°F.
-
Reassess Wicking: Check the wick to ensure it's appropriate for your candle size.
-
Evaluate Scent Throw in the Right Space: Test the scent throw in a space that matches the size of your candle for accurate assessment.
