464 Troubleshooting Tips

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

  • Try pouring 5-10°F (2.8-5.6°C) 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 185°F (85°C).
  • 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.

Candle Maker's Notes:
This wax can be a little too soft for the summer heat. If you are shipping finished candles in hot weather, you may want to consider a soy wax with a higher melt point, like Golden Brands 444.

The only one I prefer
#1 Favorite 2024-11-13

I ordered 444 didn't like it at all, I've also tried other coconut soy and my favorite to control is 464. I just love it!

This is my forever wax, I've never used any other brand and probably never will. It holds color and scent beautifully, doesn't pit or sink, has very minimal frosting (which is often the fault of a color or scent in my experience) and cures without any issue. Love it!

I don’t smell fragrance
Deborah 2024-10-16

I’m having a hard time smiling the fragrance after the candle is made. Once I pour. But once it burned, I don’t really smell the fragrance

Got throw problem
Racheal 2024-10-05

I love 464 wax and I want to stick with it, but I am having problem getting the hot throw. The cold throw is amazing, but when I burn my candle I barely smell the fragrance. Do I have to use a specific fragrance for this 464 wax? I am new to making candles. I hope I can find a solution to this.
