Hello, I work with a 70% beeswax-30% coconut oil blend and have had a hard time with sinkhole and tunnelling well burning. Your tutorial was fantastic! I add essential oil’s to my candles and fix them with a heat gun after. I’ve always had trouble with the scent not being present after they were cured. But what you said about using the heat gun and killing the fragrance totally makes sense! So thank you!
