So I am exhausted from pouring candles 12 hours a day for three straight weeks getting ready for my first show. I've encountered little issues I've worked around - things I've not seen before or had forgotten I had. But I'm frustrated now. So, I have certain FOs that will just NOT blend into the wax. (4627). BCN's Pecan Praline, CS's Hansel and Gretel's House, CS's Cinnamon Bun. I can stir at 190F, 185F, 180F, for a few minutes or MUCH longer and there's still little beads of FO in there. So of course, what's my last pour of each day? Clamshells. So, what am I pouring into the clamshells? The bottom of the pot. What's there? All the stupid FO that I couldn't get stirred into the wax. Yes, I know, I shouldn't have poured it, or I should have found a different wax, or SOMETHING. (Hush) But I did. And just now, I had the wax/FO mixture eat my clamshells. Shame on me, I should have known it would do that. But I'm too frustrated to care. And I just realized as I type this that, as I cleaned up I must have rubbed my nose, because I have a burning spot on it that smells strongly of cinnamon. Ugh. Thanks for letting me vent.
