Hi there!

I have a dilemma that maybe you experienced chandlers can help me with. I make two 8 oz mason jar candles at a time, and one will frost and the other is absolutely perfect. I am using 464 with 1/2 tsp coconut oil per 8oz of wax, dye chips, and FO. I add the dye chips and FO at around 175-180 degrees, and am pouring hot at 170 degrees with a pre-heated jar. I buy all my supplies from CandleScience.

I pour one candle then the other, and then put them both in a dark closet above the heater. The next day one will be just perfect - no frost, no wet spots, and the other will have frost on at least one side, usually 2/3 sides.

Any ideas?? Thanks!

Edit: I should add that I have poured at 125 degrees and at 100 degrees and get the same results.
