Question 1: The wick of the candle produces mushroom heads or excessive carbon deposits

When the candle wick is too large compared to the container used, the candle flame is too large and carbon deposits form and the top of the candle wick is spongy.

Solution: You need to use a smaller, more suitable drill bit

Question 2: The combustion chamber is too small to tunnel or burn unevenly

Tunneling occurs when the central wire used is too small and the flame cannot sufficiently melt the entire surface of the candle. This causes the candle to burn unevenly, with a small flame, a weak smell, and the candle soy wax going out. So if you want to know how to burn candles evenly or how to burn candles correctly, check out the solutions below.

Solution: The best way to repair the spark plug tunnel is to use a larger core

Question 3: Glazing on the surface of the finished candle

Solution: Add a small amount of palm wax:

We have found that using a small amount of palm wax on top of the candles soy wax can reduce and remove frost from soy candles. You only need to add 2 teaspoons of palm wax per 1 kg of wax. Then use a lower pour temperature to pour the fully melted, which will help minimize and eliminate freezing of the candles.

Question 4: Cutting, shrinking, bubbles and wet spots

Sometimes when we fill the wax, the adhesion between the candle soy wax and the container (sometimes called the suction cup) is bad – bubbles form on the side of the candle. This can be seen more clearly when a clear container is used. It seems that there are bubbles between the container and the candle soy wax , which looks a bit like a wet phenomenon.

Solution:Follow the steps below to resolve the issue

Low temperature casting. Note: It is important to remember to stir the wax constantly when pouring the cooler so it does not solidify.

A dirty surface of the glass container can also cause this problem, so if necessary, clean the glass container with wax before filling.

Allow the candle to cool naturally to room temperature (18-25 degrees), it may take a little longer, but the effect of removing the cup will be transmitted.

Problem 5: cracks in the surface

Solution:Follow the instructions to solve the problem.

Low temperature casting. Note: It is important to remember to stir the wax constantly when pouring the cooler so it does not solidify.

Allow the candle to cool naturally to room temperature (18-25 degrees), it may take a little longer, but the effect of removing the cup will be transmitted.

Once the wax is full, gently pull on the heart before placing, but avoid overdoing it.

Soft candle soy wax is the most commonly used wax for handmade scented candles, but when buying, be sure to ask whether it is soft container wax or hard soy wax. When making aromatherapy, soft soybean wax is generally used, which is soft in texture and is more suitable for making cup wax. It is environmentally friendly and natural, and it burns without black smoke. It is a very good practical wax. It is the most cost-effective in the current market, and it is also the first choice for many scented candle instructors to make candles.
