Yea I have came to the conclusion that this wax is crapy!!!!! thanks everyone

No i don't think that is what is going on. once it gets to the 2 hr mark it gets like white spots on the top and then it has like a puddle of fragance and dye around the wick. I have never had this problem before I am using straight paraffin wax from hobby lobby. I don't know if i should add some hardner to it or more wax i am really not sure what to do???????

I am having a problem with my candles having a hardened top half with the color and sent coming to the top of the candle. I don't know what is causing this. I am using plain paraffin wax, no hardner, and mixing it 1 lb of wax to 1 oz of fragrance.

no i am not using the stick ums i was reading somewhere that you really don't need them???

I am having a hard time keep the wick centered in the candle. I can place it in the middle fine but once i do my second pour it moves some.

yea that was pretty much my game plan. I am trying to start out slow. I have been fighting for my disability for about 3 years now and what my husband brings in don't even cover the rent. I am hoping to help out with the candles some. Is there any thing in that i need to know before starting?:confused:

You did good. Kits are always the best to start with.

As for being on a tight budget..................tell me in 6 months how that's working out for you!

:laugh2::laugh2:

It's a VERY expensive hobby. Don't mean to burst your bubble. Just fair warning.
