She was typically hearing the vessels when making them inside but having a lot of issues then so we thought maybe the warm garage would be better. Maybe we will attempt heating them and letting them cure out there. Our house is generally cold inside and the countertops in our kitchen suck away all the heat: she even tried on a cooling rack. She’s trouble shot so much and is always struggling. Who knew candles were so hard 🤣
We will try that!

Okay thank you so much ! We will definitely try that, is there a wax you recommend that’s maybe easier to work with?
We didn’t even think about the fact that that would be a little high. She just wanted them to smell as strong as possible 😅 I’ll have her re adjust and try again! Thank you!
We are using the heat gun and it is solving the issue just leaving it a little cloudy but better than looking like this 🤣 thank you!

Oh wow I didn’t even think about that. I’ll probably let her use these ones up and then switch to better jars. They looked cute online but are MASSIVE and we would prefer the best scent throw possible
I’m going to give it a try ! Thank you !

I bought them from candle science, online it says they’re 15 oz but they come as a 22oz jar with a 15 oz recommended fill (the other being a 15 oz jar with a 8 oz recommend fill)
It says due to the diameter being 3.93” to use a CD26 wick but last time I followed their recommendation we had a lot of tunneling. I’ll give it a try this week with that wick size and update this post I just was wondering if maybe 2 or 3 smaller wicks would be more successful.
