Accumulation Of Oils In Jar Candles

Submitted by aromazona on Thu, 05/06/2004 - 15:22. Chandler Guild Training Ground | All SIG News

Hello All,

Has anyone else experienced oils accumulating at the tops of their jar candles? I am fairly new at making candles and I noticed that my jar candles are starting to accumulate liquid (oil) at the tops of the candles. Some have little beads and others have alot of accumulation. I don't know what is causing this. I keep then in a 78 degree climate, so it is not because of the summer heat. I would appreciate any help on this matter.

Thank You,

Frank

Accumulation Of Oils In Jar Candles

You may be using to much fragrance oil, try using less and see if this helps. Rule of thumb is 1 oz. per pound of wax. If this does not help or if you are already using only 1 oz. oil per pound of wax I would try a new brand of soy wax if this does not help then try changing your fragrance oil provider. The one thing you have to do when teaching yourself how to make a good quality soy wax candle is to test and re-test every component going into your candle! Best of Luck.
