Sandi: The containers that I use are 8oz sq Mason's, 4 & 8oz tins, heart shaped dishes from Wal-mart, have used 16oz Apoth., 16oz Masons with the handles, 8oz smooth sided masons, etc. I normally heat mine to roughly 190, transfer to my pouring pot, add FO (I use 1.5oz/lb, unless it's a really strong fragrance then 1oz) stir and pour. I normally add my dye to my wax while it's heating in my Presto pot. I did notice that when I used Pink Sugar (it was a b***h to wick) after the MP cooled the top of it was kinda a pinky yellow. I have also had some candles that I used a certain blue dye in and the top of the MP would be a totally different shade of the candle. That really doesn't bother me though, nor my customers. Could you maybe post a picture of one of your's that you are referring to the wet spots on and let me see it. Not that it won't happen, but I just can't see wet spots using Joy, especially as long as I've been using it. Not that it can't and won't happen though. Portia BTW: Another fragrance that I NEVER could get wicked using Joy was Angel-Type. Almost EVERY wick I used (zinc's) it would drawn out. I just limited my containers with that FO.
