I lost so much money when I used this wax to make 4 dozen candles, and they all came out spongy. The wax rose to the top of the container, and it looks like a muffin a couple days after. I need help to figure out why this happened.

Love the look of this wax gives nice smooth tops on the candles I have made. I'm having a problem, however. I'm using a 3.66-inch diameter candle jar. I measured the diameter by running a string around the outside to get the exact circumference, which was 11.5 inches, and divided by PI to get the diameter of the jar. I used the recommended LX24 wick. I did a four hour burn test, and at the end of the test a film of wax remains along the sides of the jar above the wax pool.

I'm newer to candle making and I've used a couple different soy waxes so far, but this one is definitely the best. It's so easy to work with and my tops come out smooth as butter every time! I typically pour into 8oz amber straight jars at 135° and have excellent results without any fuss. Hot and cold throw are both quite nice, not overpowering, and true to expectations.

Has the formulation changed? I have not changed anything in my making of candles or storage of them. However, recently, the wax doesn't want to harden, it becomes spongy and does rise. I have a fair amount of candles that I don't feel I can sell due to this, and was wondering what, if anything I can do to remedy this, outside of using heat guns or not selling these candles.

The tops are so smooth and the ht is better than some other I have tried but still not very good! I wish candle science would answer peoples questions on the review page instead of emailing us separately because we all have a lot of the same questions! But please reach out to me and help me figure out how to get a better ht with this wax
