What kind of thermometer are you using to measure the temperature of the wax?... 

 

Switched to one of the infrared thermometers and I've gotten MUCH better results since then. 

 

I switched to an infrared thermometer and haven't looked back, I love it. You can quickly take the temp of anything and not have to wipe it off when using multiple pots of colors and scents.

humidity will def have an impact on candlemaking overall.  I used a dehumidifier when I lived at the beach, I recently moved where the humidity is typically 35-40% so I no longer need to use it.

 

Hmmm... that's interesting, I live right near the beach in FL. I haven't really considered the humidity while making candles. I'll have to keep that in mind. I have noticed I get different hot throw results as the humidity changes. What problem or problems did the use of the dehumidifier solve for you? Is it just to have less moisture in your wax as you are making candles?
