gingerinarkansas Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 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!!

AngelaVA Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scntdwik Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Never used this wax but shouldn't it be poured a little hotter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litl splinter Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 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.
