candlenewbie1 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've never poured a candle in my life, but I have surfed this forum a little and have decided to try it.My question has to do with aging the candle before burning. If I pour container candles and let them age 1-2 weeks, do I leave the lids off so the candle can breathe or cap them?Calsoy CB3Candlewic RRD-29, Peak HTP-31, Peak HTP-32 for testingPeak Amish Harvest FO @ 3%, 6% and 9% by weight for testing2 ounce jar with 1 1/2" diameter opening 4 ounce jar with 1 3/4" diameter openingWish me luck, I'm goin' in........

Holly Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi,Cap them right after they have set up. It keeps dirt/dust out and produces a great cold throw with the wonderful FO fumes that get trapped in that lid. Hope that helps. Have fun making candles!~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I cap my too after they set up. P.S great choice in wax selection. I love Calwax CB3. Their Pillar blend PB3 is also wonderful. Not many people get the change to experice it since it is only available from the Manufacturer and Swans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
