SILENCE BEFORE THE NOISE.

What you are seeing in the clip to the right isn't just empty glass. It is the critical "Loadout Phase" of our manufacturing cycle here in Shadle. Before a single drop of wax hits 185°F, the hardware must pass a strict visual and thermal inspection.

Most candle failures—tunneling, poor scent throw, shattered glass—happen because the maker rushed this specific step. At Brite & Bold, we don't rush. We calibrate.

Here is the technical breakdown of the hardware you see on the bench:

1. The Hardware: Glass vs. Tin

We exclusively use Glass Jars with Glossy Black Lids. We do not use tins.

• The Science: Metal tins warp under high heat and cool too quickly, causing the wax to pull away from the edges (delamination). Glass offers superior thermal mass, ensuring the wax cools slowly for better adhesion.

• The Aesthetic: Tins feel cheap. Glass feels like a weapon.

2. Wick Calibration

Notice the centering. A wick that is off-center by even 3 millimeters creates a safety hazard and an uneven melt pool.

• The Protocol: We adhere wicks using high-heat resistance stickers, not glue guns (which melt). This ensures the flame stays dead-center from the first light to the final burn of your Standard Issue (7oz) or Statement Piece (15oz).

3. Thermal Shock Prevention

These jars are not cold. They are staged at room temperature in our Spokane facility. Pouring hot wax (135°F - 150°F) into a freezing cold jar causes "wet spots" (where wax pulls away from the glass). We manage the ambient temperature to ensure the bond between the wax and the vessel is permanent.

The Philosophy: Silence Before the Noise

Right now, these vessels are silent. But once filled with our max-load fragrance oils, they become the loudest item in your room. We are building Loud Candles for Quiet Rooms, and that requires a solid foundation.

Status: Ready for Pour. Location: Shadle, Spokane, WA.
