Oh gawd no I poured around 145F (sorry I forgot to mention that important tidbit). That's one reason why I got the smooth top and no craters. I added the fragrance at 180-85 so it would bond well. I read that you should cure soy wax for a week but I will let it sit longer. I am no rush to use them I am just trying to get good at the process.

Is that a good or bad thing? Do I need to wait before I use them?

Hello, Last weekend I made my first batch of candles. I used c-3 soy wax with balsam fir fragrance (1 pound of wax and 1oz of fragrance poured at 185 degrees). So I have been watching my batch cure and during the week I have noticed some discoloration. I am seeing the white wax turn a grayish color. I marked one of the glasses with a pen and its slowly moving through the entire wax. Is this part of the curing process? I am really happy with my batch because each jar has a shiny wax finish on top none of the holes or other mess that can happen if you pour to hot. How long should I wait for the curing process? Thanks, northsky
