Circle Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I used the same wax as I always do and made this at the same time as all my other testers. Check this out!!!!!!!! it is so scary, do you think the FO is the cause? I am shocked to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 If it's an FO you haven't tried before, that would be a good explanation. I've seen FOs that make soy go bonkers. Otherwise maybe if the candle burned differently than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks, Top. I think it is the fo because this is the first time I have tried it and there is no other explanation I can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Is the FO from a candle supplier? Some of my B&B FOs aren't actually soluble in wax, but I didn't see that in tins until I burned them. Then I poured into a glass and could see it then.Edited cuz I called them "oils" which is what we call fragrance oils at work...

Stella1952 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Random thought:Was the lid replaced before the wax was completely cool? I've seen soy-based wax do some mighty butt-ugly things when lidded too soon after a burn...What's the FO? How much was in there? Is there any dye in there or is the brown color something from the wick? I gotta say it: that candle has a top not even a mother could love! :undecided It belongs in the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Mutant Soy Wax Candles exhibit... it would look good next to a few mutant ninja candles of mine...:laugh2:VERY strange... Y'all see? People who pour only paraffin just don't have NEAR as much fun as veggie waxers do... Soy candles are like a box of chocolates - ya never know what you'll get... GOTTA love it!!:laugh2: Edited November 16, 2009 by Stella1952 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 A question... seems like I have read about some people having difficulty with certain FOs causing their tins to rust... wasn't it a vanilla? I wonder if the FO is the culprit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Did it look like that only after the burn? Or was the top, other than the rust looking stuff, like that before the burn but got worse once you burned it?FOs with vanilla can discolor tins. I've had it happen with Pink Sugar.

Circle Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for your replies, all, sorry for the delay. Stella, I never lidded this creature, should have though as I'm sure it'l bite:shocked2:Yes, it is from a candle fo supplier where I buy most of my fo from. It is called Antique lace. When it was first poured, I knew something was wrong as the one side looked a bit honeycombed. The one pic is after first burn and the other after the second. It looks like there are living creatures in it and the brown just appeared, there is no colour added and the tin is not rusty, it is alluminium and new. Me thinks it is most definately the fo. I sent the pics to the fo supplier and asked for an explanation, but to date all is quiet.............:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If this is the antique lace from NG, they do mention it's a vanilla/musky fragrance, which would account for the brown crud. If it's strong, try using less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
