Sometimes it is the series that tends to do that.  I’ve seen it with ECO in most waxes, for instance. 
 

sometimes it is just slightly overwicked. 

TallTayl Do you thing by not pouting USA in the wax made a deference

Do you mean the end of the extinguished wick continues to glow and smoke? Or something else entirely.

That's exactly what I mean TallTayl  the end of the extinguished wick continues to glow and smoke and I never had that problem before 

I have problems after six years with my candles same wax C3 same jar same wick 6% scent.  The only difference I used to use USA six years ago but not this time, what do you thing

We moved house and where we moved to we could not get into markets as the already had a candle person, you know the story, despite that fact that what we did was very different.

 

We have now moved interstate and so far so good, seem to be well received, so we will see how it goes over the next few months.

Well i hope you have a good luck, for me I quit the candle and soap on 2015 I was getting tired of everything. And last year after almost 59 years of meryt life my husband passed, now I am trying to keep busy and make some candles

Hey Sherry, and welcome back.  I have also only just returned after 7 years of not pouring anything.....

 

Hey Richard, what made you stay away for that long....

It's been 6 years since I have poured candles, and my first post in a long while. Lots has happened to me and my family in that time. I am not going in to it, After looking at my workspace where I do my crafts and candles, I decided it was time to start again. not to sale, for me and the family will take pictures tomorrow and post them and who knows maybe I can make some soap to. Anyway I hope all the people I knew are still here 🙂

I was able to use preneutralized and gel it by mixing it with glycerin, to prevent fisheyes and clumping, adding some di water then 70 percent. 
It was okay.

Carbomer is not the best for this.

This is better Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

There are other emulsifier types you can make aquaholics.

You do not want 91 alc. it dries too fast. Sanitizing is recommended 70 percent because it dries slower, kills more.

Remember Lab Rat?

 

    Where can you get it Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer 

Hi! everyone it's a long time posting and long time making candles I was not in to  make any more candles  but when i was cleaning  my candle room I found a foul box  of palm wax and I like to know if is it still good wax must be at list 5-6 years old and still in the box  please i need to know if i can do anything with it or throw it out  🙂 thank you

I try to remember to tell customers who buy 3-12 bars at a time to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct light sources since they are obviously stocking up.  

 

Two of my favorite customer stories...sweet little old lady comes up to buy a bar of soap.  I hand her the bag and give a friendly reminder to make sure the bar is well-drained between uses and not left sitting in a puddle.  Her response, "Oh I'm not going to use it in the bath.  It's for my underwear drawer."  LOL  Then I once had a cute little boy come up to my booth and marvel at the candles.  "How do you get them to smell so good?  Do you, like, squeeze pine needles or something?"    I stifled a grin and politely explained how we scent candles.   

I get those all the time , But I think this lady was looking for another brand new candle for her self

or another person 

  I apologize for been late, I replace the candle and ask her to send hers back and this is what      she said  when she was putting the jar in the box to return it fell and broke so a said enjoy the new one you got and that was it

Are those from a relatively new case of C3? 

Many of us have had to change our wicking with newer soy for similar reasons. 

Sorry about been late it was an old one i dint buy a new case yet

It could be due to any number of variables. C3 has become challenging to wick for good HT. 

What wicks and size?

what type of container?

what size container?

 

is she burning them in a place where the cold air returns suck the scented air out of the Room?

 

She said the candles smell so good in the kitchen & bedroom that's why  she left them uncover  this is  same jar it's 2.3/4 wide CDN 10 for Lilac CDN 12 for Cinnamon sticks now I have been making candles from 2007 and this is a first for me

Looks awesome ! I know this should be an obvious answer but what in V.E in your additives section ? I bet it not only feels wonderful but smells amazing !

     Moonstar  V.E means Vitamin E  is nature's antioxidant. Vitamin E is often used as a preservative

Than you Shannon!! you are an angel. And thanks to all the members off the Craft Server for understanding    

I have to apologize  for making all this mess with the October Soap of the Month.
