Thank you so much to all that have spoken... it could be too rapid of a cooling as I have been pouring for awhile not and this is the worst it's been ... I work down in my basement and while I do try to heat it up while I'm down there I didn't worry about the heat when I WASN'T down there so maybe after I came upstairs it got too cold and the wax cooled too quickly and pulled away as talltayl said... back to the drawing board lol

Trappeur if it's frosting, what causes it and how do I correct it?

Oh boy... now I'm confused! Lol

Ok so now that you all have helped figure out what's going on, is anyone aware of a way to get rid of them in my already done products?

Thank you clear black. I may have to try that!

Sorry I didn't respond jfear and candle guy...my life took a hard personal detour so I am kinda starting over. Just now starting to retest. I am in a different place in life now I guess because I don't mind the dancing g Flame so much anymore and I never thought about the flameless electronic candles and your absolutely right!! Why would they mimic a less than ideal part of a candle right?!? Lol you guys are the best... thank you for all the help!

You guys rock. Thank you so much!

Awesome...thank you all so very much. So no one stores their product in their home/workshop in these totes?

Ty Trapp!

I got the last 1/2 inch of her old salt city candle. I tried mixing Cs Christmas hearth with cinnamon and vanilla and she said it wasn't sweet enough so I added a bit more very vanilla and it just didn't come together

PoB is Pillar of Bliss from Natures Garden.   I do use 4625 and 4786 for individual tarts. When I make double layers, I always pour my first layer hotter than my second.  One thing I've tried - and been successful at - is pouring my second layer when my first layer is sturdy, but not totally solid yet. If I pour it cooler, it is hot enough to stick to the first layer, but not hot enough to melt through it.  I do feel your pain though.  I absolutely HATE white spots. I won't hardly sell one that way.  

So when pouring your second layer when the first one is not totally hard you pour at a lower temperature?

This is what I use and you can see my little dolly I stack them on to move easily. 

 

Krazekelly did you drill holes near the top of these totes?

You guys are amazing! Thank you! I was wondering if the totes would pose a problem with pulling scent like zip lock bags do but if you guys are using them and not having any problems then it sounds good to me!! Thank you all so very much!!

Ok so I use a combo of IGI 4625 and IGI 4627. I poured the first layer at around 175-180 and the second layer about 185-190. And MLG what is PoB? Maybe it is that I was pouring too hot but before I was having a problem with the 1st and second pour separating. And I pour in my basement which is cooler that the rest of my house. But I'm confused as to why the first layer doesn't seem to create these spots? And yes the clam shells were not preheated as they are plastic? I hope this helps with a solution?

It doesn't happen to all of them but sometimes I get these white ish (unsightly) spots on my wax melts... does anyone know what they are and what I'm doing that causes this?

The top one in this picture is out of the same pour but has no spots?? Thank you so much in advance for any and all help/advice so I can correct this issue!

Just wondering what you all use to transport candles and wax melts to craft shows or home parties etc... I don't want to just use boxes (seems to unprofessional) but winder what kind of totes or whatever would be safe and not pull scent out of the product being stored in them?

Howdy all... does anyone here sell wax melts commercially? I am working with Voc Rehab and they want me to ask some people that are already in the industry some questions as I am moving into this as my next career. I would be so grateful for any help! TIA

I just received this yesterday and am trying to duplicate today. To my sniffer it smells more like a cinnamon & vanilla but the salt city description says it has orange etc... I'll do the best I can!

Thank you all... i did get the one from lonestar but while nice it was not the right one. I'll keep at it! Thank you thank you thank you all for your time!!

Hey all! I have a customer asking if a can find a scent that would duplicate the Victorian christmas candle from Salt City Candles. Does anyone know of one?

I've tried that one and it's good it's just not as deep and rich as Tenessee's 

Hi Trappeur! I am sooo sad to her this I can both EVEN IMAGINE losing my husband... breaks my heart to think of what she is going through. Will hold them up in prayer for sure... as for me I have undergone a whole slough of medical issues and family issues so have had to take a step back for a bit but I am trying to SLOWLY pick up the pace! Thank you for the suggestions and yes PLEASE let me know what your testing tell you! Hope all is well on your end as well!

Thank you Kat I'll check them out ... I loved Tenessee's Butt naked and pumpkin pecan waffles as well! Ugh actually sooo many of them! Have you found a dupe for the PPW?

Oh...my....gosh how awful!!! Will be holding their family up in prayer!
