1. Why Pre-Warm The Glass?
Pre-warming reduces glass adhesion issues and minimises sinkholes or wet spots.
2. Why Melt To 80°C But Pour at 75°C?
Melting at 80°C ensures full wax liquefaction, while pouring slightly cooler improves surface finish.
3. Can I Increase Fragrance Oil Above 6%?
Yes, but always test performance and check IFRA limits. ParaSoy™ can typically hold higher loads, depending on fragrance.
4. Why Is My Candle Tunnelling?
This is usually caused by incorrect wick sizing or not allowing a full melt pool on the first burn.
5. How Long Should I Cure ParaSoy™ Container Candles?
Cure for a minimum of 24 hours before handling, ideally 7–14 days for optimal scent throw.
