I've made and sold soy wax candles for a few years, but have grown tired of the problems. After researching waxes for a few months and bouncing between trying coconut and palm wax I've decided to give Glass Glow a try. Today is Day One of my fresh start. Its been a few years since I have done the hard core testing so I need any hints or tips anyone is willing to share, especially any specific to Glass Glow. Right now this is my plan:
Today I am pouring three candles using Glass Glow, three different wicks, no FO or color. Heating to 210, pouring at 200 and letting them cure until next Saturday before test burning. After reading through the forum, I will be cooling on a rack and trying the flip method to avoid air bubbles. I'll be using 16 oz Salsa jars and Eco wicks. I did read on the forum that CSNs and RRDs are preferred but I have the Ecos on hand and Lonestar, where I ordered the wax, does not carry them and I hate to order just wicks and pay shipping from another shop. If they are a complete flop, I will order new wicks.
Am I missing anything, like I said its been a few years since I tested soy for the first time. Of course I've always tested new oils and spot tested candles along the way, but I am starting from scratch again.
