Interesting to know about pouring too cool. I had an uneven top and then smoothed it out with a heat gun the next day. I thought that must be how people deal with it. Good to know!!!
So my wax seller recommends pouring at 135, BUT, they also say to pour when it gets cloudy, which is a paradox. I’ve tried every temperature and am still getting bumpy tops, sinkholes etc. I’m wondering if I need to switch waxes. Currently I’m using 100% soy wax chips from Pro Candle Supply. I’ve made probably 75 candles, and I’d say 50% or more of them haven’t cooled perfectly 😩 I use a heat gun, I’ve tried so many things, I’m desperate. I’ve even moved my candle making to my upstairs kitchen, which is ten degrees warmer than our downstairs kitchen. I feel like I’m following every tip but still ending up with problems 🤦🏻♀️
Love watching Your videos! It's so beautiful where you live I would love to visit Scotland someday!! Just curious the kind of wax you use and the brand If you could share that.
Thank you for a great and useful video!. I was just wondering the percentage of soy wax to coconut wax you use or do you purchase it already blended? :)
Hello, do your candles have a texture after the first burn? I know you use a blend that contains soy. I've purchased a different wax blend with only coconut and soy. As the one I've been testing has palm, as well as soy and coconut. I'm hoping the palm is responsible for the texture after the first burn. Any suggestions?
I thought that u was going to show how to get smooth tops in soy wax candles. Because most of candle makers from beginners to experts we know that waxes vary between brands and types of waxes.
7:23 why can’t you heat up ceramic? Ceramic pieces are fired to about 1180*C, what are the concerns for heating them up for candles?

Great information. Thank you!
When should you use a heat gun to fix right after it sets or after the candle has cured
I would just do it as soon as it's set if it's needed
Helpful Video , Thank You
