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.

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;)

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!

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.

LOL! 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.

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. :laugh2:

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.
