ebarnes Posted February 24, 2006 Author Posted February 24, 2006 Not at all unless you start getting candle nose.Well tonight I burned a Van Hazelnut from a batch I made 1 week ago. Its really light compared to when I make a single candle. Im using less dye also, call me crazy but my darker candle burn better or should I say are stronger. Quote
eugenia Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 OK, you are crazy. If your recipe is X times 4: 1,2,3 and 4 will give you the same result.e Quote

Pam W Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I know I know I know, maybe I should have stired more.with a larger batch, the FO tends to settle to the bottom if you don't keep it stired well...so, yes stir more;) Quote
javelins200 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 Come on ppl. Thats why we make small batches. So everything is the same throughout. Quote
Alajane Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 Come on ppl. Thats why we make small batches. So everything is the same throughout.I thought 3-4 pounds WAS a small batch. I can't think when I've made just one candle at a time, even for testing. I don't trust my scale with increments small enough for that because sometimes when I've poured a small amount in, it doesn't register until it gets up to about 0.3 ounces. I think it's accurate to +/- 2-3 tenths of an ounce, but I'm afraid to believe it on tiny batches! Guess I need to invest in a better scale!Jane Quote
Michi Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I second that!!What you talkin' bout javelins200??????I agree maybe stirring more will help, but as a rule they should all smell exactly the same. Quote
donna4909 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I thought 3-4 pounds WAS a small batch. I can't think when I've made just one candle at a timeLOL! I almost always make one at a time. I do 4 oz. JJ's, so my batch size is usually 2 oz. of wax and 0.15 oz FO. Quote
Tess Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I second that!!What you talkin' bout javelins200??????Good Grief who knows? Maybe instead of making 2 cases at a time Ill go back to making 1 at a time, just to make myself work harder. Quote
AngelaVA Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 If you measure correctly, pouring one candle will look and smell the same as pouring a batch (of any quantity). That's why it's important to be very precise in writing down the ratio of wax/FO/dye that you use for each candle you make. There is no need to pour in small batches to maintain a consistent product. That's just a waste of time. Quote
