Thank you Steve. You are right about opaque tumblers. I will try cardboard box and forget white tumblers!! I have noticed wetspot in the Yankee Candles, but my candles are full of little air bubbles/wetspots. I have tried to slow down the cooling, but I will try again . Kaisa

I tried to paint outside, but I didn´t get good results. I like that glass's surface is smooth and even. Maybe I just have to buy white tumblers. I want to use white tumblers because (millions) little wetspots makes me crazy. I have to repair all of my candles with heatgun and that's too time consuming. Nothing i have tried to prevent them hasn't helped. I understand few wetspots, but my candles are allways full of them. Heatgun helps to get trapped airbubbles out and then candles looks good! What can I do? I use pure paraffin. (Sasol). Great wax, throws even better than 4627. (Sorry for my english) Thank you for your help! Kaisa

I have Scott profile mask. I like it. Very good mask!

Thank you Trappeur. Yes I did.. . I was wondering if there is a paint for that purpose? Kaisa

Hey everyone! I would like to paint my clear tumblers to white (inner side). Can I do this? Any ideas or tips? Thank you for your help! Love Kaisa

Thank you for your comment. Thats what I will do. Wear a good respiratory mask! I have found very good one now.

Thank you, I use phthalates free fragrances too. =)

You are right! People use fragrances every day in many different products. It would have noticed if they were huge risk. Thank you for this point!

Thank you so much for your support. I feel much better. I make unscented candles too, but I love to use fragrances. There is so much wonderful scents to use! Maybe I just have to relax and trust that CS fragrances are non-toxic in candles, like they said.

Hi everyone! I wrote earlier about my sensitivity to fragrances. This problem was solved by good respiratory mask. No more symptoms. I studied fragrance sensitivity more and I found many articles about fragrances and health risks/illnesses they cause. That makes my wonder how can I be sure that my scented candles are safe for my customers and for me (when Im doing them)? How can I have peace of mind with this? This really bother me. I dont want to loose my health or cause harm to others. I use CS fo´s. There is a line in their website where they say: We adhere to the strict RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Materials) standard regarding fragrance safety. Our products are non-toxic when used for their intended purpose in candle making. What this mean? I asked Candle Science this same question, but they didn't gave me proper answer, because ingredients in the fo are secret. Have any of you had any health problems caused by FO? Do you protect yourself from fo's? I still wanna make scented candles, because I love them! But I have to be sure that is safe for everybody.

Thank you so much! Now I will forget those spots! Have a great weekend!

Hello! I'm doing testings with igi 4627. I have problems with little wetspots. They usually appears after first burn and there are many of them! Wetspots are very little, like airbubbles. What is this? I heat the wax up to 185 and pour 180. I preheat my containers and wrap them in to the towel after pour. Can anyone help me to prevent this?

Thank you! Now I have tested HTP 104 with dye and 6% FO. Im very happy. CT and HT is amazing! Much better than lx and cd wicks gave! There was no side smell! Yipii! Finally! I can still smell side smell (burned oil) when Im melting the wax, but FO fade it away. Im still waiting for Aztec reply, they are investigating reason for that. I also got full MP with HTP 104 after third (3h) testburn. Only problem is little too big and flickering flame, so I have to trim the wick. I will order HTP 93 and test them too. Thanks for the tip, Country bee! I also tested ECO wicks, but they colored wax brown and HT was very weak.

Hellou everyone! And thanks for your messages! I have tested HTP 73, 83 and 104 wicks (3" container). I got quite good MP with 104, but flame gets too tall and it flickers too much. Trimming helps, but I try to find wick that doesn't need trimming. (Is this possible??) I also tested LX 18, but it was too small. MP and flame was too small. I ordered bigger LX wicks to make more testing. CD wicks seems to smoke too much and zink wicks flickers and smokes too. Is there any another wicks I could try with 4627? Good luck all of you!! Kaisa =)

I would like to try LX wicks also . I use 4627 and 3" containers too. How much lx wicks mushrooms in 4627? Do you have to trim wick before relighting?
