YAMS Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I was wondering if you all think that this candle is salvageable? All my mistake. I was in a hurry late at night, poured my wax only to realize I had forgotten to add the FO (hahaha) dumb, dumb, dumb. I heated the wax again to max temp as per instructions for the wax (Paraffin) brought down and poured at the required pour temperature. As I was pouring for the second time (now with the FO) my wicks fell inside the jar with the wax. They were still glued to the jar so I picked them up and placed them straight again ( I didn't re-wick). Short after the huge sink hole appeared (UGH!!!!). I would like to save it if possible. What are your thoughts???? See the picture . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Start remelting ... everything can generally be saved except if you poured leather and wanted sweet pea type of stuff. It will take a little bit, but remelt, reposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 If it were me, and the sinkhole is the only issue I was concerned with, I would place in the oven on a cookie sheet on the warm setting just until the wax had melted enough to level out the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome idea. Seems easier that way. Thanks for the good suggestions. I will do just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
