Hi, My name is Karen. I have done many tests and I agree that you have to let the wax slush before pouring. The texture of the wax is really pretty and I also achieved a hight hot throw. That worked when I was making one candle at a time while I was doing my experiments, but when I realized it worked, I decided to fill up a jug that would make 10 candles, and let it slush. The time to let wax for one candle alone slush is about 30 min, while the time to let a jug full of wax for ten candles slush, is 3 hours. I tried burning the candle that I made in that jug with 10 candles, and guess what? It did not have hot throw. So my conclusion is that the cooling time for the wax to get slushy has to be around 30 min regardless if you make 1 candle or 10 at the time. I don't have a solution for cooling the wax that fest when I make a whole jug. I have tried putting it in the freezer... in the fridge and it just does not have the same throw. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Karen
