TallTayl Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Is it getting cold in your work area? Sometimes I have to warm the containers a bit with the heat gun just to make sure things stick. have you used those wick tabs before? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshaler Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 @TallTayl no I have not used the stickers from BA before ! I was wondering if temp may have been an issue! I do not own a heat gun yet I could heat the jars thank you for the input ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hairdryer throws a lot of air, making it less useful for say heating tops of a candle, but for this it should at least help troubleshoot. Good luck!

Trappeur Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Adding to what Tall Tayle suggested, I would also like to add that could be a drastic disaster with defective wick tabs. If your sure your glass is thoroughly clean and it is not that, then I would call the Bulk and tell them that and they need to replace them, If it is happening to a few of them, I wouldn't care and DEFINITELY WOULD NOT USE THE REST OF THE roll. Once I had that problem with BC as I had done a big collection of candles for a store and this started happening and it was a disaster redoing all the candles over. BC immediately took care of the problem and got with their supplier and they had them redone but at least they advised everyone of this. They were great. They are a great company and i just love their oils also. It could have been a disaster sending out defective candles. I have 2 companies I buy my wicks from and wouldn't stray from them. How hot to you pour your wax at into the jars? This is just my 2 cents. Trappeur 00000000000000000+................ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshaler Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 @Trappeur and @TallTayl Uggh so I tried heating the jars and then my fo sunk to the bottom , I am sure this has nothing to do with the wick stickers but as I was digging out the wax to check and make sure that was indeed a 1/4 in layer of fo in the bottom of the candle the wick was on there pretty good ! If I use that oil again going to have to get it alittle hotter so it does not separate . Thanks for the tips guys ! I did tell BA about the wick stickers it was a small set of about 100 and I won't be buying them there again can't risk it ! No they did not offer a replacement !

TallTayl Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 What fragrance and wax was that? The FO does not sound compatible with wax :-/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthomas57 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yah I'd have to agree... its seems you are having a multitude of issues not relating to wick stickers at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
