Cleaning the wax from pouring containers
tamese replied to lovinit's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
Right after I finish a batch I wipe mine out with paper towels before it has a chance to dry. Then I wash with soap and water to make sure I don't get any scent or dye mixed up in my next batch. But If I do have to stop and tend to my kids or something, I just put it back in my boiler and let it melt again them wipe out. -
I'm using a 8oz jelly jar for my candles, and in my pomegranate candle the wick seems to have a really smaller flame than any of the others. I use a 51-32-18 zinc core wick. I can't seem to smell the pomegranate at all, but the other smell great. I use the same amount of scent as in the others. Cant see why the wick and scent is fine in all the others but not the pomegranate. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've been useing 4630 wax lately and I've tried a different supplier. The first supplier said it wouold hold 10 -12%, the second supplier said theirs only holds 8-10%. If their both 4630 shouldn't they both hold the same amount of scent? The reason I changed is that the first suppliers had a lot of water in it.

Thanks Vicky!!

In my 9oz hex. jars they have what looks like bubble in them. Should I try to return the wax or go ahead and sell them? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank in advance:rolleyes2

I just ordered some 4630 wax today. I was using 4636 and was told 4630 was better at sticking to my containers. Does anyone have any good tips for this wax. what temp to add dye,scent,when to pour etc. I use a 16 oz wide mouth jelly jar and a 8oz. hexagon jar. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank in advance. I love this board so many helpful people hear. I learned alot.

Stella you seem to know alot when it comes to the art of candle making. Just wondering if you could give few tips. What's a good container wax. I use IGI 4636, but I have a lot of wet spots, and I noticed that if I add vybar that my hot throw it better. Is IGI 4630 A BETTER WAX. I use 1.75 ozs. per pound of wax. Tried it with less, but it's not as loud. any help it appreciated. Sorry if this is the wrong place .

Well I'm a newbie to this candle business, but I've been using lonestar candle supplies and their scents seem to be pretty strong. I haven't tried those two you are looking for.
