464 Troubleshooting Tips

Not getting a smooth finish on the surface of your candles?

• Try pouring 5-10 degrees hotter.
• Don’t let your candles cool on surfaces like marble and granite. These materials draw out the heat from the candles too quickly.
• Try a second pour or a heat gun to smooth the surface.

Not getting a strong fragrance throw?

• Ensure you are curing your candles for two weeks to get the best results from the fragrance.
• Make sure you are adding fragrance at 185F.
• Re-examine the wicking.
• Make sure you are evaluating the scent throw of the candle in an appropriately-sized space relative to the size of the candle.
