J223 Question

[gingerinarkansas]

Has anyone ever had J223 not adhere to the jar at all? I was cleaning up some jars I had poured recently and I noticed one of them rattled. It was just like I had used votive wax in a jar....not stuck to jar anywhere.... you can shake jar and it moves up and down. I haven't poured votives in a while so I didn't get the wax mixed up. What could be the deal with this one little jar. J223..Butt Naked from WNW and poured 150-160 degrees. All the rest look fine. I have a freak candle!!

This happens to me with J50 in the winter sometimes. It freaked me out at first, but I know I didn't mix up my wax. We all wish we didn't have wetspots, so now you just have one big one, lol.

Never used this wax but shouldn't it be poured a little hotter?

What do I need to do with it now? Would it work ok to just stick it in the oven and let it remelt? This is a new one for me. Glad to know that I'm not the only one it has happened to.

We use J223 and I never had one shrink so much it rattled. We pour at 155 into warmed jars and then let them cool in a cooler or oven overnight.

I would put it in the oven just long enough to remelt the outside back to the glass, and let it sit for a day or so.
