becky0404 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ...in soy? Scent throw aside, if i burn a soy candle 24 hours after making it will I get a "true" test burn? Or should I wait the two weeks and then burn? Does it make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I think it does with the NatureWax C3 and palm wax I use - the structure of candle wax is made of of tiny crystals which are not as strong right after cooling as they are in a few days. I think this makes a difference in the burn; however, I have not tested to see if curing makes enough of a difference to change wicking sizes... I always just wait. Perhaps you could test this and let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so-soy Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 When I'm testing just for wicks/burn I never let it cure. I will pour one day and test burn it the next day, never had 'bad results' from not curing it--meaning, the results are the same that day as they are when I burn the candle 2 weeks later! This is what I've found in the 415 wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yes, I have found it does affect the burn especially in the colder months. I would let it cure at least a couple days before test burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky_CO Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yes it does I have burned candles a few month later that the burn was off it was great when I made it but after sitting I either had to hot a wick or to cold and tunneling happened.
