Glossary of Terms:

Glass Adhesion= the ability for wax to stick firmly to

the sides of the glass container.

When there is a variation in the way wax sticks to the

glass it creates a wet look. You are looking for wax

that sticks to the glass and does not pull away.

Tops of Candles- This term refers to primarily soy

waxes. The tops of the candles end up bumpy and

textured and frosted. Candle makers usually shoot for

smooth tops.

Cold Throw- The scent amount (strength) that is given

off when the candle is cold.

Hot Throw- The scent amount (strength) that is given

off when the wax melts.

Wax Melting Point- point in the heating and cooling

curve where the temperature change flattens out is the

approximate MP of the wax.

The manufacturer has a recommended melting point.

I would melt the wax according to their suggestions.

Vallyne Pie Candles

Our Candles are made with the benefits of soy wax, paraffin and gel. Each is individually hand made with the greatest of attention to details!. We ran out of words to describe our fruit pie candles, so we had to make new words. Have you ever smelled apple candles or blueberry candles? You can almost taste the warm apples and cinnamon melting in your mouth, just like homemade apple pie, with our handcrafted apple pie candles.



Our pie scented candle you just can't find anywhere else are right before your eyes in the heavily scented candles selection. Hand-poured, handcrafted candles burn longer and cleaner than artificial candles, plus the fragrances from our handmade candles last right down to the bottom of the wick. Pretty hard to top, isn't it?
