When testing candles, would it be a good idea to reuse the same glass containers over and again or would that mess up the integrity of the glass?

Thanks for giving me a heads everyone because I ordered it already from candle science and its on its way. luckily I ordered cinnamon stick as well. I will try the mix also and see how it smells.

Random question! Does soy normally have a rough look after each burn? Every soy candle that I have let burn seems to have a rough texture, holes, or its kind of choppy I guess you could say lol. My burns are great in themselves but afterwards....

Yes for the most part. When I light the candle many bubbles seemingly shoot to the surface next to the wick. The wicks sometimes have tiny holes or caves next to them after cooling down.

Old glory I am trying to figure out how to get a pic on here through my phone. Don't have a laptop near me

I am using hex jars yes. Sorry about that. I am using liquid dye and 1 ounce of FO per 1lb. The bubbles appear after the candles have settled. Not exactly sure of the room temperature. I am guessing that it's probably around 65 to 70. The bubbles also occur while the candle is burning

No problem old glory. I will try to get a pic for you tomorrow. Thanks for responding

I almost forgot! I did another batch except it was fireside FO and I heated the jars prior to the wax pour. I also poured at 170 this time and the candles look perfect all around except for frosting on the top again. I am hesitant to reheat the top in hopes of removing the frosting because I don't want the rest of the candle to pull from the glass. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello everyone, I am new to the candle making industry. I have been attempting to make candles inside of an 8oz he jar. I use 464 golden brands soy wax. I have recently heated to 185 and poured at 135. My candles resulted in having holes around the wicks and frosting at the top. I used orange dye and pumpkin FO. I also used eco 12 wicks. I then attempted a repour on one yet bubbles still remain. I used a hair dryer to reheat the top where the frosting is and it worked however the wax throughout the rest of the candle looks to have pulled away with discoloration. I did do a burn test and it burned perfectly even on another of the same candle. Help?
