Reusing Wax


Vee

Recommended Posts

I have some very basic questions as I am still a novice at candle making...only recently started making them.Because I am a beginner sometimes my finish is not great...sometimes the candle may get warped... My question is that is it ok to remelt and make a candle with the same wax over and over?

Does it affect the burn of the candle ... If I have used FO and need to melt and make the candle again do I need to add more FO... Presently I am making paraffin wax candles with either some stearin or vybar.

I live in India and we don't get blends here so I have to make the blend myself.I use paraffin with 10% of soft wax and about 5% of stearin.

I have also been trying to figure out what is the best way to store candles as I have noticed yellowing in some of my white candles and color fading in some  especially in the green color 

It would be great if someone can throw some light on this....
