Jbruza Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hello there I have two questions today. 1. Does it matter if I cure my candles with or without a lid on? The containers I'm using don't come with a lid so I'm hoping they still cure well without a lid.. 2. Does my cure time effect how the wick responds? I'm trying to figure out which wick is best for my containers and wax currently ( beginning phases of candle making)-- & I'm wanting to do a test burn after like 48 hours to see which wick gives me the best burn pool. If I test burn in a couple of days from now, will my wick testing result still be accurate with a longer cure time? I hope those questions make sense! Thanks!

TallTayl Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 When I don't have a lid I turn the cooled candles upside down. It can help contain the volatile scent components at the top of the candle, and keeps dust out. Time definitely changes the burn on soy IME. A burn at 2 days can differ from a burn after 2 weeks.

TallTayl Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 A week should give a good idea of wicking. And a decent idea for hot throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
