Hello everyone!
I have been avoiding posting because, despite trying to do my own research, I am banging my head against the wall. I started making candles a few months ago (well attempting to make candles I should say). I am using palm wax and typically make about a pound at a time. I use a drop of liquid dye (sometimes more or less...it usually depends) and about 10% fragrance oil. The finished product is a bit disappointing; they never burn right! It seems as though it may be the wick, but I have tried a few different types that are supposedly for my jar size. I cannot seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Hopefully with some advice, I can get back on track and out of this failing spree!
