Thank you for such a detailed response! So the wax was actually poured yesterday, meaning I had a 24hr cure time prior to burning 🤦🏻♀️ Newbie mistake!! I had assumed cure time was only essential for added fo and the overall HT, I didn’t even think of crystallisation! I’ll re make this to get a view on how the hang up is after 2 weeks.
At the moment after a 12hr burn, I have a melt pool of Approx 1/2 inch. So not too deep. Saying that the dimensions are 93mm height X 78mm diameter. Which is nice to know that hang up is expected in a container that has more height than width.
Haha that’s not a bad idea! I’m going to be conducting multiple safety tests to ensure my candles are safe. I would hate to know that I’d endangered anyone by not being thorough! I will re make this and test in 3-4hr increments for a clearer idea on my wick ☺️
Room temp has been very stable, not too hot or too cold here in the U.K at the moment but it’s great to know how the room itself can have an impact on the burn - another thing I hadn’t thought off!
I was curious regarding FO’s so your view on certain FO’s burning the wax quicker than others is super helpful. I had thought this may be the case but didn’t want to solely rely on my logic of thinking ‘certain fuel may burn quicker’. I can never be too sure with the right or wrong methods involved in candle making. I’m enjoying the testing but there are so many elements, I had no idea 😂
Thank you, I’ll keep testing until my candle is somewhat perfect but completely safe x
