Lori berlin Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I am so frustrated. A few days ago I poured 20 candles with different scents (Nivea, Lily of the Valley) with much joy and enthusiasm. When all the candles were done, I was horrified to discover while cleaning up that I had accidentally used wicks that were way, way too small. The bag of wicks was so poorly labeled that I didn't even realize it was the wrong wick size. A test fire revealed that nothing was salvageable. The flame is too small. What can I do now? As a small retailer, I rely on every jar of candles. I have considered remelting the wax (Kerax 4105/Rape mix with 7% fragrance). However, I am not sure at what temperature I can melt the already scented wax. And I also wonder if the candles will have the same scent afterwards as before and if I can still sell the candles then. If the fragrance should no longer be in intensity, can I add some fragrance? Or would there then be too much oil in the wax? Of course, I do not want to cause fire damage. Please help me.
