Candlewitch Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Made over 100 candles the last couple of days. 3 RED MAC AND 2 BROWN CANDLES didnt settle right. The 2 brown set after one re-melting. The Mac took 2 re-melts before it looked the way its suppose to. The others all set properly. Anyone??? Of course 36 5 ounce frosted some and all were redone and now perfect and they were done the same temp, the same wax, the same scent as the 16 ounce. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 It's the little C-3 gremlins! They love doing stuff like that! When I pour cooler, mine sometimes don't settle correctly. Could it be the end of your pouring and it may have cooled a little? Still think it's the gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 It's called the humidity! Get a dehumidifier. Fire:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 LOL. If it was humidity it would not have been 4 out of a 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 How were they setup on your pour area? If they were in the deep middel of the rows, the heat around them might have made them set up a little slower. I have no idea what you setup is. Because I pour in a basement, my problems similar to that were quickly solved with a dehumidifyer. But if you don't pour in that sort of an area then no, it wouldn't be the problem.I pour on a large pour table and the ones in center row are always the last to setup if I'm pouring 60 or so candles at one time. I didn't pour at all during the heat wave because to humidity was 100% and the basement would get too hot. I was already sweating buckets without the stove being on to melt the wax and I didn't need a drop of sweat to ruin my candles. Even at night, it was 83 with 100% H. And I low on stock and shows coming up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
