GailC Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Boy you would be giving away a lot of candles if you didn't think soy candles with frost or wet spots were worth selling. I recently made 2 candles in 18 oz containers with 444 soy wax. Poured both of them at the same time of course. One came out perfectly; the other had wet spots (wax didn't adhere to the glass). There is no rhyme or reason to wet spots. I'm here to testify of that. I looked at some Woodwick candles at Cracker Barrel. Virtually every one had wet spots. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy T Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have never, ever seen one of my customers even notice a wet spot. All they care about is scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 As we walk down memory lane on craftserver (and other candle information sites) it seems like a good exercise to create a scorecard tool to measure our candles. Say for instance jar adhesion was weighted as a heavy criteria. Would that mean melt pool temp or depth or sooting was unimportant? I work with other candle makers and have mentally prepared that scorecard for each situation, since many people have different priorities. Thinking we could, as a group, put it into a written format to use. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
