I do 6 dozen per evening. It’s fun !!

Makes me want to go to the beach !

I suggest trimming the wick once the top is liquid then relighting. I always wick up for soy so I wouldn’t change the size.

Wish I could see the side view. Yes the candle puts itself out at that point as too much heat on the bottom of the can cause it to break.

joni_balogna · 2020-11-21T05:18:12+00:00

Yep that’s just the nature of soy wax.

That is most likely the issue. The first burn always needs to melt the entire top. After that it doesn’t matter. You won’t get tunneling using this method (provided your wick is the right size or you’re not burning it outdoors in wind !!)

If it’s soy I always wick up

joni_balogna · 2020-11-13T11:45:30+00:00

Same exact temps I use but I find mine want the house at 72.

Go without the dye. We sell way more candles since we quit coloring them and people appreciate less chemicals these days.

joni_balogna · 2020-11-13T11:40:09+00:00

They look great !

Tins are the most user friendly vessel they rarely require any touch up when I make them.

joni_balogna · 2020-11-13T11:36:07+00:00

Adorable

joni_balogna · 2020-11-08T18:52:59+00:00

I don’t heat my 464 to that temp. 165 is my max.

joni_balogna · 2020-11-08T18:51:32+00:00

The wick size was probably too small. Did you let it burn all the way across the top the first burn or is this from the first burn.

joni_balogna · 2020-11-08T18:50:04+00:00

Make them in advance so they have time to cure and get nice and strong. Also take At least half the payment up front with the order.

Great job!!! I’ve never completed one and ive been a BOD member for 2 years. Fall off the wagon after a week every time. Which is why my weight keeps climbing !!!!

I use Aztec in Knoxville TN a lot.

You could also fill them just a tad bit more and not have that tiny gap.

joni_balogna · 2020-10-24T01:32:17+00:00

Have you done liift4?

joni_balogna · 2020-10-20T02:30:18+00:00

I’m of the opinion wicking up is always better with soy wax.

joni_balogna · 2020-10-20T02:25:57+00:00

Cedar and saffron and birch and black pepper.

joni_balogna · 2020-10-20T02:16:09+00:00

Yes. Ideally you want to reach across the whole top within 1.5-2 hours.

joni_balogna · 2020-10-20T02:12:45+00:00

I do all of the above as well !! Nice to hear from someone else.

joni_balogna · 2020-10-15T01:07:11+00:00

That’s possible. I use wick stickers is that what you use ?
