Tealight frosting/discoloration issues


Recommended Posts

So I made a bunch of tea lights 2-3 weeks ago. Put them all in a box (some airtight, some not) and I've noticed that the tops of the majority of these tealights have an odd discoloration or crystallization...I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's noticeably not smooth and looks a bit unsightly. A lot of them have this greyish-brown speckles.

 

Does anyone have experience with this? Using 6006 wax. When I made tea lights previously with 464 I didn't seem to have the same problem - tops all remained silky smooth.

Interestingly enough, the candles that I made around the same time DONT have this problem (thank god).

 

When I started burning it, some strange ring of brown..stuff appeared. What's going on?!
