Why does soy wax pull away from the container?
Soy wax is temperature-sensitive. If you notice wet or cloudy-looking spots on the side of your glass candle, the temperature of the glass is probably cooler than the surrounding air, causing the wax to constrict and pull away from the container walls. As soon as the candle is lit and the temperature of the glass increases, the wax will expand again and will completely adhere to the sides of the candle container.
