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.

I like it but there are black flakes

Hannah 2025-05-26

I really like this wax. It burns well. The fragrances have all turned out very well with it. It's a natural wax which is a must have for my brand. I think it looks beautiful when set!
Maybe this is normal, but I've gone through two 10lb bags and several 1lbs and they all seem to have these little black flakes in them. I've throughly cleaned and inspected the pour pitchers, the fragrance oil and my spachulas and never had find flakes before starting a batch. Workspace is also cleaned and vacuumed throughly so it has to be from the wax at this point.
It's not a big deal and I don't notice them in my candles as much. But I do see them with my wax melts. I find myself fishing out specs before they set so the finished product looks better. I do really like this wax so unless customers complain I plan to keep using it. Maybe I'm just getting unlucky with the wax

Air Bubbles Question

Alia 2025-05-02

I love this wax for my candles because it is easy to work with. It is soft and creamy with a excellent fragrance throw.

I am having trouble keeping air bubbles out of it when I pour. I heat the wax to 185F, add my fragrance and dye, and GENTLY stir for two minutes as recommended for maximum fragrance binding. But even with gentle stirs (i.e. keeping the spoon in contact with the bottom and keeping the the spoon against the edge) I am getting crazy air bubbles. Any advice on how to limit those with this wax would be amazing!

Great wax

Nakita 2025-04-20

I just started making candles about 2 months ago, and use to purchase my wax from Michael’s. But then I came across this website, from someone on YouTube talking about how good they are. And they wasn’t lying. It takes patience and practice, but my husband love the way the candle I make burns. It’s amazing. And the fragrance is amazing on here. Can’t wait to get more wax and experience. I’m ready to start buying the soap base.

Love this wax but…

Amy Sue 2025-01-19

So I use this wax with 16 ounce square mason jars and a CD 14 wick. I love the way it burns. I love the hot throw. My only complaint is the wick mushrooms. I have tried the CD 12 and it’s not hot enough to burn the full circumference of the jar. Are there any other wick options that would be comparable and give me all of the qualities of the CD 14’s w/o the mushrooming?

CandleScience responded: 2025-01-23

Thank you for your review! Some mushrooming is expected, especially with the CD series due to its construction, but excessive mushrooming can be a sign that an adjustment may be beneficial. We'd love to learn more about your experience so that we can better assist! A member of our Customer Support team is reaching out via email to help.

It just kept coming out on top

Hannah 2025-01-03

I wanted to hate this wax, I came in with a bias because of negative things I'd heard. I bought a bunch of wax and I spent weeks running tests. And every single time the 464 won. I wanted it to lose, even with my own bias, it kept standing up for itself. The only other one that came close was 454, but it lost on the consistency of its tops.
