I first started out with this stuff before I got wick stickers, it literally turned my white soy wax a shade of pink and some candles just had odd red streaks. and the stuff has an awful chemical smell.. it didnt happen all the time but enough I stopped using it. I get my wick stickers from Candle Science and they never come loose even after I warm the jars in the oven before pouring. I still have a few tubes of this stuff figured id use on something around the house eventuality
That's so ironic. I used cauking silicone to block the hole in my very first pillar mold and it worked great. It didn't affect the wick and nothing spilled out
you can pick it off like gum. it literally comes off in one chunk if you get the jar cold. I reuse my jars too, I didnt find it any more difficult than removing the wick sticker they both require a little clean up. but I also prefer the wicks to this messy stinky gooey substance.. lol
@@StandleyHandcrafted actually I did a little more R&D and reached out to various industry expert in India and figured out that it had to do with the room temperature. During winters, it was getting too cold my city hence these glues (I tried over 10 different glues) were not drying at all while the same glue was drying in 4 hours in a coastal city which didn't have such low temperatures. In US, I guess most homes have central heating due to which the room temperature is controlled but we don't build homes like this here so I guess that might be the cause. I will test it again after a couple of months during summers.

Thank you!!!
True! I saw this on one of your UA-cam videos and I have been using it ever since.
I bought that after seen one of his videos and it’s awesome

What if you have vessels that you want to reuse how do you get the wicks out?
How do you remove it at the end of the candle life? Let’s say to reuse the jars?
It’s difficult, but you can buy some solvents to get it out.
That's why I won't use this. Reusing jars is important to me and I don't want to make that more difficult.

Unfortunately this didn't work for us...for some reason it simply didn't even dried even when it was kept for a whole day.
You used the wrong stuff then. This stuff dries like cement in 24 hours and hard enough to use in 1 hour.

@@YATINVALECHA Hopefully you can get a nice adhesive that works for the area.
Doesn't it take 24 hours to dry?
Nope, you’re safe to pour an hour later.
24 hours to fully cure but after an hike it sticks really well and wax won’t move it.
