I started making candles about 4 years ago. I have never used any other wax. It looks great and has amazing hot and cold throw. I heat to 200, add color at 180, fragrance at 170, pour at 160. Watched a video of a candle co and decided to go with her info…happy I did. Use CD wicks and wooden. Love my candles (mostly make for friends and family)….yes I’m one of those perfectionist that lets wet spots drive me crazy! Loved your video!!

I love joy wax I've been using it for almost a year with my candle making business. However any recommendations on what to do so the jars won't get so dark while the candle is burning from the paraffin wax in it?

I have the same issue. Could be the wick size. I will order a smaller wick to see if thst helps

Try to wick down. For this reason I’m thinking about switching waxes

New subscriber here. I am thinking of making my own candles and possibly taking it into a candle business. Can you tell me what makes up the Joywax. Thank you

Why are you swishing the wax while it cools?

A lot of soot in an 8oz jelly jar. Please with a cd8 wick. Scent throw was awesome. But the soot though is unbearable

How much oil did you add and how was the melt pool? If the melt pool was good then I’d lower the oil amount a little to see if it helps.

I've made three batches of candles using this wax and each batch got sink holes near the wick. Any suggestions? I followed the manufactures recommend pour time and used the hemp wicks from nature's garden as well. Thanks!

Kathleen Schmitz It was good. I’m still testing more to see if I can get it stronger.
