mystblue Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I am a relative newbie, and I've searched previous posts, but, can't find this info anywhere, so, thought I'd post the question. How do you cure your candles - we you keep them in a sealed container, open on a shelf - also, should I be keeping different fragrances separated while curing - will they absorb fragrance from the other candles? Also, what temperature should I be aiming for - does it take longer to "cure" when it is colder - and will curing in a cold area promote frosting? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Are these jar candles? If so, just put a lid on and store where ever your heart desires. No, the fragrances will not mingle. I store mine in the basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I wait til the wax has cooled and hardened. Then I trim the wick and put the lids on and store at room temp in a draft free room. Soy candles need at least a week to cure. Some scents are stronger from the get go but I always wait that week or more to be sure its ready.

I store mine in the basement. I should have said - these are container candles, but, they do not have lids. So, should I cover the candle while it is curing - cling wrap or similar?
