Tizimarezie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I've been making layered candy corn candles with 70/30 for two years and they've always turned out so pretty. This is the season when they sell really well, too. Well, I received a large order for these candles, spent a lot of time making them Friday & Saturday...and then the temps plunged overnight last night into the 40's (a very sudden drastic change). Woke up this morning and every one of the candles had wet spots. That's never happened before. They are so ugly! I can't melt them down and reuse the same wax because they are layered colors. What would you do???? Would you go ahead and ship them and expect the customer to embrace these wet spots?....or toss them and start over (and pray it doesn't happen again)?

Tizimarezie Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I tossed 'em and started over and included an additive that won't allow the wet spots to happen again. Yay, sticky stuff! I can't expect a customer to pay for decorative candles and than have them look like cr^p.Onward . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharper Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 What kind of additive would you use? I have had some candles do the same. ~ Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
