ConnieS Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Does anyone see anything wrong in doing this.....Taking presto pot out to the garage (it's warm outside) and making candles out there??Any harm in that?Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 If you have any candles tested and working that you made inside, I would make one the same way in the garage and burn it to see if it behaves the same way as one made inside. Ambient temperature and humidity can change how a candle behaves/looks.HTH! geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragileXmom Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 That's exactly where my presto pot and candle making stuff is, the garage. We don't get a huge temp variance here and if it too hot I can open the garage door. Give it a try and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked1 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 My candles always look so much better when it is hot in my garage (work space.) The more miserable and hot I am, the better my candles turn out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 My candles always look so much better when it is hot in my garage (work space.) The more miserable and hot I am, the better my candles turn out!That's true fo me too. It's when I move them into my air conditioned store that wet spots show up. That's just a part of temp. change with jar candles. When the wax cools it shrinks and pulls away from the glass, in spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
