Craftedinthewoods Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have a craft show tomorrow and have put some candles in my car tonight. If it freezes will it have a negative effect on my candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_yulay Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Yes, I will cloud them and de thaw funny... Load your car and insert a small space heater on low and make sure it is the full proof kind that will shut off in case of tiped over. Done that a million times.. Good luck at your show.

Craftedinthewoods Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks, I took my candles out and brought them back in.:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillowBoo Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I got so sick of the wetspots that I put the whole dang candle in the freezer so that the whole candle pulled off the sides of the jar. It worked except for one tiny spot. It didn't affect the candle (soy blend)I'm not going to do it again....just experimented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soy327 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have put mine in the frig to get a uniform look, but when I take them out sometimes in partial areas will adhere back to the glass oh well just another characteristic of soy IMO.:laugh2:What a beast.Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craftedinthewoods Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'll have to play with the freezer thing. So far I heat jars in my oven and pour into hot jars. MOSTLY this solves any wet spots I saw earlier in my candle career. I may have an occasional wet spot and I wonder where that came from when all the rest look fine!

islandgirl Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Once the candle warms up again, the wet spots will, for the most part, disappear.I have stuck mine in the freezer then tested. It did not affect the burn or scent throw at all. I have left them in the freezing cold garage - they burn fine and once they warm up, the wet spots disappear..Wet spots don't bother me. If they have them, oh well..(Frosting drives me crazy)If you dye your candles, the cold could make your candles frost more..If your dye free.. Then don't worry..

Vicky_CO Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Gel candles it matters but soy I have had mine freeze a lot with no adverse effect in the burn or looks, sometimes when they thaw you will get a bit more frosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samandkennasmom Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I thought I was the only one who thought she was kidding about the space heater in the car, there is no way I would be able even think about going to sleep like that...she must be kidding~HugsMichele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I was thinking she meant one of those small square ceramic heaters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I actually had mine freeze and crack in half at a trade show. They turned the heat completey off at night then high heat in the morning. Ruined the candles completely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillowBoo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 speaking of space heaters....I set mine up beside the table where I was letting my candles cool. It takes longer for the candles to set up, but those particular candles had no wet spots on them and they also were the ones that didn't get the BIG wetspots when they were moved to a cooler environment.
