I have. Sorry, I haven’t logged on in a while. I’m using candle science oils.

Thanks for the information! Have you found any or more issues with FO from Candle Science as opposed to other brands?

Hello all, I'm besides myself trying to troubleshoot this issue I'm having. I've been testing a GW 464/Coco 83 blend for the last month or so, but for some reason I'm now getting some discoloration in the wax that forms the melt pool after burning. This started happening at various levels of the burn. The research I conducted suggested that it was likely due to the wax being overheated and thus scorched. I started noticing this issue after I began using a presto pot (with spotty temperature regulation), however, the discoloration continued even after using completely new wax and the double-boil method. Then I thought perhaps it was the LX series I was testing with, but the same thing happened when I used the CD series. The specs are Vessel: straight-sided threaded glass jar Vessel diameter: 2.60ish Capacity: 7 oz Wicks1: cd6, cd7, & cd8 Wicks2: lx12, lx14, lx16 Gw 464: 65% Coco 83: 35% FO load: 8% Additives: UV Stabilizer FO added at 185 degrees Poured at around 160 degrees Curing until wick test: 24 hours Curing until burn test: 2 weeks I've also noticed significant mushrooming on the LX series. Any ideas??!!

How long are you mixing in the FO for?
