Smokin'Hot Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Ok, here is the last of the walmart glass candle I made using J223 and a LX24 wick. I didn't give up on it...I kept burning it, keeping the wick trimmed (as you can see--NO SOOT! I wish I could convince my customers of this known fact!!!!!) and not too much wasted wax at the bottom. Thanks for everyone's patience with me posting and reposting this particular burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keniasoapboutique Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 What size are those? I'm guessing in the 5 to 6 oz. range? We're always up for different containers. Especially if they're reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Makin Momma Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 It's a nice jar, but I wouldn't be happy with that much wax left at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Wonderfull job!! Take some burned jars to show customers that your candles do not soot!! I have gotten most people here localy out of the "soy" facade. They understand now that it has less to do with the wax than with the candlemakers expertise. As for the wax on the bottom, it doesnt look like too much, I always make mine to leave 1/4" on the bottom after the wick extinguishes. I use the high neck tabs.

The LX wicks I use have a high neck tab on them, otherwise I think there would have been alot less wax left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi, not a candlemaker, so wondering, are you saying those are parrafin with no soot? I have never had a parrifin candle not soot and put black all over my walls etc. I have rec'd some Yankme and Root candles and got terrible soot from them. I was just curious bcz like a said, I have never seen a parrafin not leave soot. Great job on being able to keep it from happening!!!!!Elle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
