SOAPFREAK Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Does anyone else have this problem? Am I pouring to hot? I made these before to give as gifts, opened them for some people to sniff and they don't smell like the scent. Smells all of plastic. What am I doing wrong? TIA, Kristy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I've never had that happen, I pour between 105-115. I buy mine from Impact and once they were skunky smelling when I got thembut I opened the box and set them all out in stacks for a few days and it went away.

Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I've only had that happen with clamshells I bought from Cajun candles. I washed them out with soap and hot water and let them dry and nothing helped. Since then I've ordered from ICS and Impact and even some off of eBay and haven't had a problem with them smelling like plastic. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think it happens when the mfg boxes them too soon after production. I'm guessing here but worked in a plastic mfg plant and plastic would stink if it was put away before it had a chance to air out, it was not the same type of plastic that's why I'm guessing. If they stink when you open the box, take them out and let the air get at them for a few days before using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
