After pouring the soy candles and after some time cooling, there is a small ring of wax stuck the the wick a millimeter above the candle surface. Any thought or ideas?

Hi there,

I had this same issue and after some research I stumbled across a sight that suggested gently heating it with a hairdryer to get a nice smooth finish... It worked :-)

Good luck hope it helped

Would be nice to limit it so they look that much more nicer to customers.

Hi Phill,

I'd say not to worry about it. It won't affect the burning of the candle or anything. It's just a natural part of the candle making process.

Thanks for asking - I'm sure you're not the only one who wondered about this!

Good luck with your candle making :)
