Hello! Newbie question alert:
I’m having wicking & HT issues, so I remelted a candle in a double boiler to repour into a same sized vessel with a larger wick size. When the wax had melted I could see some of the FO had separated and had sunk to the bottom (I used a blend of 3 different oils). I’m assuming this shouldn’t happen, as I’ve never seen it in store-bought candles or wax melts. Did I do something wrong when making the original candle, and could this be why I’m having HT issues?
Wax: 90% Soy 10/10% MP117
FO 9% load
Heated to 200
Added FO immediately
Stirred for 2 mins
Poured immediately (all per manufacturers instructions)
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
