lauren8479 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Is it really necessary to warm the glass containers before pouring? I read that only in 1 place. I've never seen that anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaskitchen Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Sometimes I get wet spots even after I heat the jars, so I guess it's totally up to the person making the candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert23 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 i'm not joking , i made dozens so far with not one wet spot. i keep my fingers crossed & heat them with a heat gun. a high powered gunin each jar for about 10 seconds & it's ready.

Candle Man Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I do in the cold weather, because my pouring room is not temp. controled, but fint it un-necessary in the warmer times of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I warm mine during the winter to help them cool slower. Otherwise, it really isn't necessary. Try making two candles -warm your jar for one and don't warm the other jar. See which you like better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wootoo4 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 In my opinion it is a total waste of time, I pour way to many candles to be heating jars, and I have NEVER had anyone complain about a wet spot...I have been pouring for over 10 years.

candlemom Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 IMO- It is personal preference. I agree with Angela- make 2 candles- heat one and don't heat one and see which one you prefer. HTHTheresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxwench Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Never! Just a waste of time, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithsem Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I just visited a candle maker here in Door County WI and she showed me around her site... I asked her about that very issue...she does jars candles exclusively...and she took out her heat gun and zapped them before she poured about 9 of the jars...they were not hot, but warmed just a bit...I had looked at all her jars...did not see any with spots.
