A Rainy Day Post

5/9/2012

9 Comments

 
As I was carefully packaging up orders today, I got to thinking about something I read recently on another candle company's website. They were making orders and shipping them the same day. Same day?! What?!

For those that don't know, a soy candle will burn best and have optimal scent throw when cured properly. This is why I state on my website that once an order is placed, it will ship 3-4 days after the order is received. The reason for that is solely because I make orders as they come in and cure them for at least 3 days before shipping. Not only do they need time to cure, but the temperature that they cure in is also important. Ideal temp is 68-72 degrees.

Now, when we ship, we can't control the temps the candles are sitting in as they move from facility to facility and from state to state. We also all know how packages get thrown around during shipping, so the uncured candle is not sitting undisturbed in a ideal temp setting, as it should be. I could offer a quicker turnaround time, but then I would be sending out my products without being able to say I gave complete attention to detail to every candle that left here. When it comes to curing, I need to control the where and temp in which it happens. I have been told that I can be obsessively punctilious when it comes to my work. But, it makes me feel good to give my customers the best products I am capable of. This is why it doesn't feel like a "job" to me. Feeling good about what you do is what it's all about in my book!

Til next time....keep it glowing  :)

And the difference is in the smell :) I found another candle from somewhere that I already had here. Lit it the other night and never could smell that thing, it was just a burning wick with some wax in a jar. Hmm, wonder what I am going to do what that?
Also, if I order something and have it shipped to you would you be able to put a candle in it for me? I spotted something today that is so funny and would be an interesting candle!

I can make anything you'd like, Martha. If my customers can dream it up, I can make it happen somehow. :)

Your post is quite interesting. I like soy candles very much. 100% Pure Soy Candles! Hand poured scented candles made with organic soy bean wax. They are really good for house.

Hi, Can you tell me what happens if you burn a soy candle (scentless) straight after it s been made (i.e. 3 hours or so) Does it melt a lot while burning ? I am having this problem with my soy pillar candle and pine cone candles from moulds.. they are melting like mad (almost like bitter in some places) though I have tried various wicks. There is a pool of wax forming around the bottom of the candle after they are lit. Can you help me? Im at my wits end. I have tried so many wicks. Might it be the lack of curing ? I am using pillar blend Ecosoy. Thankyou!
