bella soy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I started test burning a candle about 10 minutes ago. And there was a huge sink hole surrounding the wick that goes strait down the center. Its like the wax didnt ahear to the wick. you cannot tell this issue unless you burn the candle. What causes this and how do you prevent it. I dont want a customer to get a candle like this.8 oz sware mason jar70/30 blend waxrosemary mint FOEco 8 wickThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenleaf Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I know this will sound wierd but when did you get the 70/30? I can't tell who you are by your board name Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella soy Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 i purchased the wax from you all on Apr. 16 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenleaf Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 OK - so that tells me what Batch you are in and what you may need to do. Pour at the temp you did, but warm the jar a little first and then cover with a box or towel or something to slow down the cooling process. You can always email me at brenda@greenleafcandlesupply.com and I will help you through any of these types of issues. I'll be keeping an eye out if you need me.ThanksBrenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella soy Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Thanks Brenda! I ordered some more od this wax a few days ago along with some containers. So ill try to warm my jars this time. Its weird because it only happened to one candle out of a batch of 6! Im thinking there may have been an air bubble in there somewhere. I read on your site where if i spend 25.00 I can get a free 1 oz FO but when I checked out it didnt give me an option as to what scent I want?Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
