answeety Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi, ive just starting making my first beewax candle. Mixed beewax with coconut oil. I think my wick is a little too big, as the beewax pool is turning black( the black burnt wick is dropping into the beewax pool). Another thing is, it smell horrible, burnt smell. The wick is not smoking but the house smells smokey. Should I stop burning the candle? Im worried that im creating more bad air pollution to the house . thanks. Hope to get some feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Ellen Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've never mixed with coconut oil, so don't know if it is causing the problems. For me personally, if I had a candle that was acting that way and it was a mix that I wouldn't be using it again, it would be an outside candle. I wouldn't care for the smokey smell in the house. If it was a mix that I planned on using again, it would go back in the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I never blend anything with BW for a pillar. From what you wrote, there's a problem with the blend, or the wicking, or the wax itself. What are you trying to accomplish with the addition of coconut oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
