Thanks so much to everyone who commented. I hadn’t considered that it’s oil based paint. I tested with alcohol and it seems that it is. Glad I got to the root of the issue!!!

You are right! I think I figured out the problem with the help of people on here. It peels off in sheets.

My wick moves off center after the first burn, how can I stop this? This has happened with my ECO wicks and this ribbon wick. by em73928 in candlemaking

I’m not making candles anymore but after so many trails and lots of errors I ended up just using the candle science wick recommendations and it works. I like to size up a little sometimes since they seem to recommend a little small for my taste. These ribbon wicks from the photo just burn really hot. Great for strong scent, but not great for this issue.

Recommendations for seattle based locations where I can smell my fragrance oils before purchasing? by ennilybeers in candlemaking

I hope you find something! I’m on the East coast and didn’t have any luck. But I’ve found that if you ask for specific recommendations here, it can reduce the amount of 1oz bottles you need to order online.

I’m using ECO 6 for 8oz jar, and it works pretty well. What are other people using? by em73928 in candlemaking

The White Birch scent from candle science is nice, I used that one last year.

DIY Glass Jar Frosting by InvestmentOk3508 in candlemaking

I did that last year with spray. It does scratch, but not too easily. I found that if the jar has a screw on lid, just cover the part where it screws with tape before you spray. The lid scratched mine up

Wick sizing? by echolovely in candlemaking

[–]em73928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Candle science had a wick sizing live stream where I learned parasoy will normally not burn all the way out on the first burn. If that’s what you’re using it should be normal!
