Wax pulling from glass

Thu, 03/27/2008 - 06:37 — waxgirls

We have been trying to pour Soy-125 into glass tumblers. No matter what we do, we can't seem to keep it from pulling away from the glass. The wax is designed for containers. The containers are designed for candles. We tried heating the containers, we tried pouring at a low temp. We experimented with different temps. We went as low as 100 degrees to pour. We can't figure this out.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Wax pulling from glass

Make sure your glass is clean. If you warm your glass first, don't warm them more than 120 deg F. And lastly, are your candles setting up in a place that's causing them to cool too quickly? the room you pour in should be between 67-75 deg F. If none of that works, try a different wax. I use Cargil C3. I have a troubleshooting guide on my website if it helps. www.lynnscountrycandles.com
