poured soy candles hot

[Sharon in KY]

Something I tried the other day.

Poured wax GF435 hot into room temp jars

then put in the micro to heat till jars were hot

a minute or two depending on how many jars

jars will be too hot to handle so use a oven mitt

put something on to keep wicks straight

let them dry

when dry, poke a hole near the wick and do a repour, I always do anyway

depending on the temp of wax of repour you may have to heat tops

these turned out great and had no frosting at all

Try one and see what it does. LMK

The wick tabs didn't shoot off sparks in the microwave?

[Sharon in KY]

No sparks, I have been using the Micro for over 8 years. Always use it to melt jars to empty wax and wash. Also to reheat.

I am curious as to why you did this. Was it to eliminate frosting? How hot was the 435 when you put it in the jars? I usually pour my 435 at 100-110. Was it hotter than this?

[Sharon in KY]

I'd say it was about 150-160*, I did it so I could go ahead and pour then heat, which took no time and set aside. I wind up having several pitcher sitting around waiting and it gets crowded.

When I tried pouring hot with my KY125 it affected the HT so much I HAD to pour it cool. So check your HT and make sure it is what you want.
