lwaltmann Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Anybody know what is the lowest temp that you can store made palm candles? (both pillar and jar) I am storing mine outside in an enclosed canopy. Maryland can have it's cold seasons down to below freezing. Also if I pour them outside, I know it will harden faster, but will that take away from the starburst or feathering effect? Thanks for your help.

CatlinPM Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have no idea about how the cold will affect the candles, so no answer for you there. I do know that if you are pouring the candles outside in cold weather it will be more difficult to keep your containers/molds warm enough. If the containers/molds are too cool, the hot wax will harden instantly when it hits the glass/metal and you'll lose the cool crystal effect. You'll just have to make sure everything stays hot enough (wax, molds etc..) which could be possible although definitely more difficult.

Stella1952 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Palm wax likes to be poured hot into warmed containers and to cool very slooowly for best crystallization. I would not store the candles below 60°-65°. If you check on the manufacturer's site for your wax, they should state the range of storage temps for their waxes.
