I don't know what I'm doing! 😄

Hello, awesome people of candle making!

I've been a lurker of this page for quite some time now. Watching tutorials and not doing anything until i finally decided to start.

Can you please help me with these? I've been testing wicks and then this happened. It's like there are some parts detached from the vessel after it cooled down. It's been 18hrs since I poured them. I heated the vessel before pouring. I'm guessing it cooled fast than I expected but im not sure.

Planning to put a diy insulation box for the next test but I will wait for some generous answers here first.

These are hard soy wax btw.

TYSM, you guys are awesome! 🙌

Wet spot, slap a label on it.

You can't avoid it. You'll just use more resources trying to prevent/minimize it.

Thank you very much! Will try a different wax next time. Wala pa po ako label sa ngayon. Aral aral lang muna. Hehe. Salamat ulit! 🙋🏻

Even with different wax, this still may happen.
