Soy! the bubbles are around the the glass at first I though it was frosting so I try the heat gun and there they were Tiny little bubbles? coming all the way up and if I don't heat Gun all of them they come back

If we're talking about a caved in lookin' place that has a cavern under it, the candle is cooling unevenly and the top is cooling too quickly.

What temps are you melting to, adding FO/dye, and pouring?

What's the temperature in the room where you are pouring?

Are you cooling the candles on a rack?

How are the candles placed when you cool them (how much space between them, etc.)?

What size container are you pouring?

Stella! I am talking about Tiny little bubbles

I am melting the wax at 175/180F ad 6.2% FO/dye warm and pouring at 165F

My house is at 72/75 all the time I don't touch the thermostat at all?

I cool the candles in a box with a rack 1.5 inch apart?

and I am using a 16 oz mason jar regular?

And I will take some pictures when my camera is charge?

I thing I cover everything?

Please any more help will be appreciated?

Thanks

Not to worry you guys! I am still learning from your posts keep going:p

:yay:

Is there a difference between

this Cargill NatureWax C-1 Container

And this NatureWax C-3 Container Soy Wax

I have a question? Do you use stearic acid with your container candles or only for the pillars:)

Thanks! Irbd and Stella I can not believe I miss that link with the photos

from Stella, I was searching for a couple days now, to find something with pictures now I can do a better job I am one of those people that likes to see pictures then read the instructions And Stella your pillars are one of the kind:thumbsup:

Oh! my I never would believe all the air pockets that GG has I made a container with out pocking holes and start burning it and you can see all the holes from the top. So i went search looking and found this

From you Stella

I don't do any tapping for air bubbles, nor do I try and spot them through the hardened wax because as the candle cools & crystallizes, it will trap air bubbles in the structure of the crystals, so they do not always rise to the surface like they would in a smooth textured wax. Most are located very near the wick (all around) or a short distance in from the outer edge of the candle (all around). If you visualize the top of the candle like the solar system with the wick being the sun, the cavities form between the sun & venus and between saturn & neptune. For those of us who don't remember which planet is where, click here. I already cheated and looked! :embarasse .

It's important to understand that the cavities form because of cavitation - the large crystals have space between them that trap fine air bubbles as the candle cools. The "air bubbles" have NOTHING to do with bubbles from stirring, melting, etc.

I have written & illustrated the method I use for removing the cavities, so I won't repeat it here; however it is important to realize the air cavities are not all located just under the surface - they are throughout the interior of the candle so it's important to get deep into the candle before it hardens.

Stella I never seen those illustrated methods you are saying Can you please point me to that thread I really like to see it and learn before

I burn the house :laugh2:

Thank you

Okay! the reason I dint cut the soap was I have made 4 slobs each of the same. And cut the three of them and wrap them and had the 4rth uncut for my craft show for customers to see how it looks when is not cut and warp nicely So! here is the cut bars I hope you like:)

Here is my beer soap Drakkar type made it last year and and still uncut

and my Ginger /Eucalyptus/Lemon grass EO Soap Enjoy!

Palm Wax burning I have a question about palm wax I have a jar burning now a 10 oz salsa jar 3.75 wide 3.75 tall htp 105 wick first burn and everything seems good. Now I read somewhere that the palm wax burns down first and it has a lot of hangups. My question is how many 4hrs burns I have to do do before I know if my wick is the right one. Hope I explain everything Ok...

Okay! here I go reporting on my burns sorry to disappoint everybody but all the candles were under wick exp apt one now I have to remelt all of them and wick up 1 size or 2 I don't thing I will worry about the looks right now

I just want to find the right wick Now my question is how do I remelt the Jars I know I have to put them in the stove but how high it has to be I am so I have to do it again

Result of burning the Palm wax you were right about letting the wax go all the way that baby jar burn all the way down to the end nice and clean, and very comfortable to touch. Now I am testing the 10oz jar and having problems with the flame is the flame supposed to be high when you firs light

the cause this one has a really large flame any advise will be appreciated

And Stella! you like that eh? "hangover"

Very nice job!

barncat do you get some traffic with it and sales or do you thing is not worth the time. Just use my gift card and let it go :tiptoe:

Okay! I started burning my first palm wax on a baby food jar

the baby jar Honeysuckle 6% fo from NG the cold and hat throw is amazing and burns good with an htp 73 wick. the flame is low and the sides have a

hangover I will let it burn all the way and see how it goes:)
