JABE Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 So, I experimented today and mixed some 4627 (40%) with GB444 (60%)Heated to 190 - added FO/dye at 185 - stirred about 2 minutes then poured into my glass jars. Which were sitting on a kitchen towel on the counter. (unheated jars) Since they have cooled I have a few cracks in the wax that go almost all the way around the candle. A little bit of glass separation too (not worried about that as much as the cracks). I have never had a candle crack before. I have also never used any form of paraffin either. I usually experiment with soy only. I'm trying to branch out and see what other waxes throw like. Suggestions for why I have the cracks?? Thanks for any responses!!

Vicky_CO Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have had that happen I found if I pour cooler I had better luck. I also adjust my ratios. It took a while to get everything right. What is worse some FO it did and some it did not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
