SilverOrchid Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 How do most of you store the ones youve made? Temp etc? I stored some in a box in my dinning room and ended up with weird white spots on some.. not the wet spots we all get but some weird circular spots. I was thinking the dye could have caused this? In order to get darker colors I have to use alot of dye..if I use liquid i get weird swirls sometimes no matter how much I stir.. and if I use dye blocks I get the little specks on the bottom of the jar... Why oh why is the dye torturing me so much??!!!! LOLOL:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdank Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Those white spots sound like it might be mottling. What kind of candles are you talking about storing? Containers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverOrchid Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 container candles, using J225 wax. others didnt do it at all.. I know I mixed and poured at the right temp and heated my jars.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimistarts Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 hmm.. i use j50 which is pretty similar and i have stored container candles over a year and never had any problems. i keep them sealed either with the lid or with seal film and in the case i purchased the jars in and in my laundry room. i think in any even you want to keep them out of the light.hth!
