Crowded House Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've read quite a bit on this board on the various ways to counteract wet spots...pour temp, heat gunning, ambient temp, etc...Are those of you doing these things finding that they are permanent solutions in any way?I mean, you've poured correctly, in the correct ambient temperature, cured in just the right humidity and temperature, perhaps heat-gunned out any pesky wet spots that might have cropped up anyway. No wet spots! It's perfect!So then you put it in a box and send it to yourself. Your candle spends 3 days in uncontrolled temperatures and humidity - it's cold, or hot, or humid, or dry.Does your candle come back wet spot free?Just curious. I have not found this to be the case with my own candles, but if there is someone out there who has, and would like to share their experience, I'm sure any technique they found to permanently control the container adhesion of a wax that will actually grow over time would be very helpful to us all.TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Have you thought of pouring into the tins with see through tops? I think they have a very upscale look and it bypasses the wet spot problem completely especially if you are shipping your products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowded House Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 I have learned to "embrace" the wet spots, so to speak. They don't bother me that much. I just see so many "solutions" to them here that I was wondering what the long-range outcome was for those folks.I love tins, too. Wish I could find the gold in more than just 2, 4, and 6 oz. size.

Nodtveidt Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've found that using a little vybar 103 eliminates wet spots when poured at the correct temperature. Ever since I started my vybar experiment, I've not had a single wet spot problem and only one slight frosting problem (was due to the FO I used).
