20 Years to Embrace Wet Spots
For years, we've been working behind the scenes to solve the common issue of candle adhesion, often referred to as wet spots or bubbles. Despite the name, wet spots have nothing to do with moisture. They occur when the wax pulls away from the glass due to temperature changes. Over time, we've tried every method imaginable to eliminate them, such as pouring wax at different temperatures, using warmed or cooled jars, adjusting the pouring speed, and experimenting with different cooling techniques—cooling slowly, quickly, on a heated surface, or with air circulation.
Some of these methods, or combinations of them, might work—at least for a while. However, whether or not wet spots appear depends on the conditions the candles are exposed to. This issue is common across most candles, including high-end brands. It's important to note that wet spots **are not a defect** and don't affect the candle’s performance or quality.
We intentionally avoid adding any additives to our candles, as these are often used to prevent wet spots but can compromise the purity of the candle.
As stated in the title of this post, it has taken us 20 years to accept this. Our primary focus has always been to create a candle that burns well and has a great fragrance throw, and we are proud of the quality we offer, even with this minor quirk.
