    Actually what you said makes perfect sense and you are right.  People think that tunneling candle is using to small of wick when that is not usually the case. A wick that is to large will burn up the wax faster and some times so fast it can not create a wax pool that is usually when you obvious tunneling. To small a wick will usually drown out in the wax pool it creates.

I told my kid I thought the bars were ready and that I was going to try it out that night I was missing a bar rotten kids. He loves salt bars I guess I should feel lucky he left me a bar. LOL

    Hi Guys,

    Please reply to your PMs from the board not your emails. If you reply from your emails they go to a junk email account and the one you reply too does not get it. So if you have PMed someone and did not get an answer that may be the problem. Please give them the reminder about the PM system.

    If you have a Hobby Lobby or Michael's go to the Clay section and get some Amazing Mold Putty it a 2 part silicone mold putty and make some your self.  I use that stuff all the time it great for copying a small items. I usually do textures but I have made master pieces that I mold so I can make them over and over.

    CURED WAX --- WHAT IS IT ?

    in General Candle Making Discussions

    Some believe curing help the throw other feel other wise.

     

    Here is mine for natural waxes like soy I do believe need to go through a curing time I do not believe that about paraffin waxes but I do believe you should wait a few days before you burn them. Here is why, your candle need to be totally set before you light it up. I know a candle will feel cool but deep down in side it may not be. Also you wax should be fully set and hard because that is how it is going to be fore customer. The candles they burn maybe a few weeks or even a few months old. The longer it sits the more firm it will get in most cases.

     

    With soy wax the FO and the soy wax does go through a binding process because of the properties of soy wax.
