  1. Cheers for the info guys, will update with next test appreciate it all! @kandlekrazy it says it can hold up to 10-12% FO so i'm not sure where to start
  2. So just to clarify, Melt the wax to 180f, take it off, then add my FO etc, Then what would temp would you recommend i pour at? it's pretty cold outside this time of the year, but inside should anywhere from 20-25c i'd say! Thank you! its great help on here already, way more than i could find on youtube and other places! and i will do! cheers!
  3. @BusyBee I'm in ireland, but yes, the Kerasoy is a UK product i believe, Yeah, i've been just hearing a lot of different things, so im super confused on what instructions to be following to be honest! 😕 So i'll add the FO at 170-180F and then what temp would you suggest to pour at? Also would pre-heating the glass container help at all or no? I'll defiantly check out the wicks! i know the site i purchased the original stuff only had 3-4 options of wicks, LX,TCR ECO and wooden, i'll have to check another for the Stabilo series! and i appreciate all the help, sorry for asking so many questions 😅
  4. I've been curing them for around 2-3 days? then i test burned them, i'm doing 10% FO 1oz to 1lb? and i'm heating the wax to 180 and then was adding the oil at a lower temp of around 120-125f? was checking different ways, and that was one i saw so tried it? and i've been stirring it for about 2-3mins after adding the FO, They have came out smooth, but i've noticed after the first burn, the sides of the candles have like wet spots? here is a photo of it burning right now, my main guess is the wick Appreciate any help!
  5. Hey guys, i've recently got into making some candles for fun, I'm using a 30cl glass with Kerasoy container wax, and a ECO 14 wick, my candles have a great Cold throw, but pretty much nothing when burning? any tips? i've only made my first 5 so far, so obviously have a lot more testing etc, but would love to know any tips you guys have or if my wick etc isn't a great size? cheers
