yeh, I knew what you meant:)

I asked her and she said it's a pillar of bliss wax from Natures Garden.

I asked her the other day if she meant the 3% versus 3oz and she said no...she uses 3oz per pound. I am going to make some this weekend and try the 1oz/pound and see how they smell.

it did seem like a lot of oil, and I go through a lot of the scents my family requests. I am going to cut back on the next batch that they request and see how it does.

Thank you so much for the thermometer suggestion!

I did make a few tarts with the 3oz and it seemed to do well.....I have some that I made a couple of months ago, and there is no oil seeping out or anything like that. But if I can use less and still have great smelling tarts, I would love to do that......using 3oz uses the fragrance oil up pretty quickly!

Thanks again for your help:)

Hello....I have been making tarts for family and selling just a few

here and there. I enjoy it, but just can't do it on the scale that some of the companies do.....I don't have time for hundreds of orders. Anyway, I was wondering what is the best thermometer to use for temps? I have been using a candy one, but they seem to need calibrated all the time, and now are not working.

As for my question on fragrance oil, I had a fellow candle maker/friend tell me that she puts 3oz of fragrance oil per pound. I keep reading that most only use 1-1.5 oz per pound. I did make some with the 3oz, and my family said they were very strong. I use a parasoy blend of wax for my tarts. I hate to cut back and not have tarts that have a strong smell, but I am afraid I am using too much fragrance oil. any thoughts on this? Thanks for any suggestions!

I can try that

I am looking for the more creamy zucchini bread fragrance oil...does anyone know which supplier has it?? I have some now, but it's more of the "spicey". Thanks for any help!!
