What are some of the reason my candles may be smoking?
I’ve recently started making candles. I use a single pour wax similar to Astorlite J-223, cotton wick, 1 oz fragrance to 1 lb wax, small amount of color. Thanks for your help.
It could be that the wick is too long. Wick care is also a very important part of burning a candle. It is generally recommended to trim the wick to ¼ of an inch before each lighting. If the candle is smoking or mushrooming while it is burning, extinguish your candle and trim the wick using caution. If the candle is not burning all the way across the jar, let the wick grow a little longer.
Also, Drafts can also be an important factor. They can cause a candle to burn unevenly exposing more wick than necessary. Remember, air vents, open windows, overhead fans all create air currents that will cause the flame to smoke
