wader Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 we recently went to a trade show. We left our candles out over night. we now have wet spots in our candles. Will they go away once they are lit? If not is there any way to get them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 LOL, yes, just scoop them out and all is good. I know this is a joke, nice to laugh in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wader Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 actually I am not joking. The candle looks all blotchy around the glass, and I am trying to get the to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm surprised you haven't encountered wet spots before. I don't think anyone's been able to successfully get rid of them. This has been discussed many times, though. You could try a search on here for wet spots.By the way, Welcome to CandleTech! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wader Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thank you. I am new to candle making. Do you know if they will go away once the candle is lit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I don't think they'll go away even with lighting, though they will still burn just fine. Be prepared for someone to ask this question: If you're new to candle making, how could you be ready for a trade show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmeroo Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hi Wader! I am new to this board....but I know exactly what you are talking about!!! I used to use 125 paraffin for mottled container candles...but decided to do something different and switched to J223 and oh my Gosh! The wet spots are huge and hidious! I used my noodle and got my heat gun out and heated around the glass and re-smoothed the top.It seems that the "Wetspots" is air that is trapped between the wax and the jar! I only fixed one so far just to see if they would come back and so far so good. I am not fixing the rest until I get the orders and I'll fix them. HTH:cheesy2: I do have a question for anyone though..... I use the melting pot jars from the jar store and I am having the darndst time wicking these.I use J223, dye chips,CD 18 wick....still no full melt pool after 3 hours of burning! So I move up to a CD20 and that is better.....should I double wick? What size do you recommend to start with? TIASorry sooo looong!
