Hi everyone! I'm a total newbie here. I have been lurking and researching for several months now. I started out making candles in July. It was with 100% soy wax from a craft store. I had no idea what I was doing, so I made some really ugly burning candles.:embarasse I tried Ecosoya Advanced for a while due to how nice it looks, but since the fragrances that work with it are hit and miss, I decided to not continue. I'm currently using gb 464 and have decided to stick with it for now. I have the wicking down and have a few fragrances that work in it. My confusion is about my soy candles sweating while they are lit. Once the melt pool reaches a certain size it goes away, but it happens with every candle and every time it is lit. I have talked to the 2 suppliers I buy from and both say it's normal and I shouldn't worry about it too much. Aesthetically it bugs me, so I'm not sure what to do. Do I just accept it? Also is it something I should be concerned about safety wise? My candle recipe: gb 464 soy wax 6oz candle tin 4-7% fragrance load depending on supplier eco 10 wick My process: Heat wax to 185 degrees using double boiler method Add fragrance stir a few seconds Remove from heat and stir for 2 minutes straight Stir in intervals until wax reaches pour temperature Pour at 150-160 degrees for a smooth top I have tried heating wax to 190 degrees, I have tried adjusting fragrance load to as little as 3%, I have tried cooling my candles under a cardboard box. They all still sweat. I burn and make all my candles at home which is always at around 70 degrees. I have searched this forum high and low for an answer, but can only find information related to soy candles sweating when not lit, usually due to temperature fluctuations. My candles were sweating like this in the summer and still now in the winter. Also this has happened with the ecosoya and gb 464, so I'm assuming it is something I am or am not doing:undecided Any thoughts or suggestions? Oh also to add, I have used two different thermometers to make sure I wasn't getting an incorrect reading on temperature. Still the same. Thanks for taking the time to read this long post. I've been hesitant to post due to possibly asking a stupid question, but this is really bugging me. Alicia
