  1. 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!

  2. @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 😅

  3. 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!

  4. 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
