robertgibbens Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Anyone run into their soy container candles cooling back to a frothing consistency after the first few burns? I am using EcoSoya Advanced with HTP wick. Wick is right for the 3 inch tin container (as far as flame height and pool size). First few burns were great. Then about #3 burn it cooled and was all frothy on top!! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Perhaps as the candle burned down into the container, it was not warm enough or too warm. When did the candle reach FMP> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertgibbens Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Reached fmp between 2 and 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcollins78 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Maybe you poured too hot? I ran into this problem once when I tried pouring my Ecosoya 135 at around 130 or 140 degrees. All other times I've poured at around 105 and never had that problem with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertgibbens Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm beginning to think its a matter of cooling temperature after the candles are blown out. Unfortunately (and fortunately), daytime temps here are in the mid to high 80's, and my candle shop can reach over 100 when testing! I'm noticing more frothing when the candle cools very very slowly (like over 5 hours to harden). More experimentation is necessary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
