My problem is sometimes my candles crack a little , i let the soy cool down before pouing any suggestions?In general, a soy candle cracks because of uneven contraction due to dry air conditions. Many of us that use Beeswax in our soy have to use a little less in the winter so our candles don't crack. In the warmer months, when it might be more humid, we bump up the BW a little to keep the wax nice and hard. If you are using an additive such as BW or USA, you might back off of it by a percent.Let us know the pertinent details of your candle wax and maybe we can be more specific geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citygrl707 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 i think i might have figured out my problem. I think i was pouring to hot, today i waited united the soy was kind of thicker and poured three candles they smell great and didnt crack or frost.
