Too much UV Inhibitor?


Recommended Posts

I usually do kettle batches of 3500 grams, but I had a brain fart and did a batch of 2500 grams, yet added enough UV inhibitor for 3500 grams. Then I proceeded to pour a whole bunch of candles with it.

So if I usually do .2% of UV (7 grams of UV for 3500 g of 464), but then do a batch at .28% (7 grams of UV for 2500 g of 464), what would you expect to happen? My testers seem to be burning ok, but I was hoping to sell these on Saturday for a Farmer's Market.

Sorry can't help you, I do not use UV inhibitor.

Which market are you going to, if I am out an about would be lovely to put a name to a face?

I'd love to meet you :) I'll PM you the details.
In my experience with, without, or with too much UV inhibitor doesn't affect the burn. You should be fine.
Thank you, Georgia, that is definitely reassuring. So far my testers from the batch are burning ok.
