fredron Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Some of you may remember a couple months ago, I was having trouble with Joy wax getting a white crust inside the jar after cooling. I loved the burn characteristics, but the candles were ugly. I struggled with that condition for weeks, trying higher & lower pour temperatures, wrapping the candles in blankets to control the cooling rate, and different detergents for washing the jars. Some of you mentioned cooling in an oven, but my candle operation is nowhere near the kitchen. Finally, because I was also getting sink holes, in some of my smller candles with J-50 wax, I built a box out of insulation board, with a lid. I poured some J-50, and while I was at it, I tried some Joy wax also. Result? No sink holes in the J-50, and no crust on the Joy wax. Thought the information might be of interest.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
