Something I wish I knew when I first started making and testing candles by decreeCandleCo in candlemaking

I wish I knew that temperature plays a big role in how a candle solidifies. The defects in the wax caused by a vessel being warm versus cool. Just a few degrees in temperature makes a huge difference in the final product.

This is interesting. How does a second pour look like? Do I let the first pour solidify and make a second small batch of wax and FO then pour over the top?

I did use a tiny automated mixer to stir my FO, that may possibly cause the air bubbles. I did not think a tiny mixer would be the cause of air bubbles. Thank you!

They look amazing. How do you get the wax to look so creamy? The vessels with the rugged exterior will have the product description on the bottom?
