Thank you all so much, I am definitely going to drop the fragrance load and try the suggested pour temps. I have a green winged macaw, fragrance is deadly to them, so I have to make my candles in the basement apartment. The whole house runs one one system the temp down there could also be effecting my process. Ill have to get a good space heater to see if I can get the room to stay at 70, also never thought about humidity. Wow there is so much that goes into the process! I actually just learned about wickless testing recently and it has come in handy. I have 2 different sized apothecary jars I poured and have struggled to find the correct wick for either of them yet, thank goodness I dont have to keep pouring them, that would get so expensive. I tried CD16, 20, 26, and now im going to try double wicking with CD8s. Thank you for all the advice.
