Troubleshooting

Frosting

What is it?

Frosting is a natural characteristic of soy wax caused by crystal formation. It does not affect how your candle burns or smells.

How to Reduce It

Pour within the recommended temperature range.
Allow candles to cool slowly.
Store finished candles in a stable environment.

Sinkholes or Uneven Tops

Possible Causes

Cooling too quickly
Pouring at too low of a temperature
Cold containers

Solutions

Warm containers before pouring.
Allow candles to cool naturally.
Smooth the surface with a heat gun if needed.

Wet Spots

What Are Wet Spots?

Wet spots occur when wax contracts slightly away from the glass while cooling. They are purely cosmetic and do not impact candle performance.

How to Minimize Them

Preheat glass containers.
Pour consistently.
Avoid rapid temperature changes during cooling.

Weak Hot Throw

Possible Causes

Candle has not cured long enough.
Wick is too small.
Fragrance load is too low.
Fragrance oil is not optimized for soy wax.

Solutions

Cure candles for at least 7–14 days.
Test different wick sizes.
Increase fragrance load within recommended limits.
Evaluate fragrance compatibility.

Poor Glass Adhesion

Possible Causes

Cold containers
Rapid cooling
Temperature fluctuations
