Ollivander Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Ok this might be a stupid question but..When I am burning my candles they do not have any soot coming from the flame and the jar is clean. Then at some point half way down the jar there will be a time when I blow out the candle and I can see the smoke hit and start lightly sooting the top rim of the jar. I would believe most people blow their candles out and wouldn't bother dipping the wick. It doesn't seem like I am getting soot during burning at all. So should I not be worried about soot that comes from people blowing out the candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I wouldn't or if I did it would be way down on my list of things to worry about. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I would not worry about it either..you can also smoke up the jar from lighting it..my propane lighter does that when I tip the jar slightly sideways to see in it to light it..I hate that..cause I dont want people to think it is my candle that is doing it..

Scented Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Or you can just train them to use the dippers lol, but if you're burning clean then I wouldn't worry about it. Most of your customers probably won't worry about it either. Some might, but most probably won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollivander Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks all. This puts my mind at ease. I have become insane with trying to be perfect. Anyway just gave out my first to family members the other day - so far I have gotten really good feedback. I am using greenleaf 70/30 blend and they have never burned soy or soy blended candles. They are loving how they burn - they said most of their candles that they have bought always gave off black smoke. I can't wait to see what their jars look like when they are done. I also did not give them any instructions on how to burn - figured let them burn candles they way they normally do and not the way I want them to.

pamperme Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I use a soy/paraffin blend as well and love it! Not from Greenlief..but it is awsome in the thow dept...and still the great ease of cleanup soy gives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
