  1. I was getting mixed signals on whether to add the oils at a higher or lower temperature, but the consensus here seems to be higher, so I will definitely try that next. One last question... I know pouring temperature is important with candles, but does it matter with melts? Thanks for the help, everyone!
  2. More FO? Sounds scary... but tempting. I'll have to try it. Made note of all your suggestions, thanks a ton!
  3. Apologies if I come off as a moron, its my first post! I recently got into making candles, and then backed down to master tarts/melts first. I recently began using IGI 4794 (votive blend) wax for my melts, and I'm actually pretty pleased with the throw. However, being a greedy perfectionist, I demand better. So my question is a vague "what should I add?" I know about vybar. I have heard success stories of IGI 4794 blended with KySoy 115 (I thought soy inhibits throw? Hrm...) Has anyone here tried these? Or have another suggestion? I am just trying to gauge the best next step, as I am on a fairly small budget. Specifics: -Candle Science oils (Grade A) -1 oz per pound -Fragrance added at about 155-ish? If I left anything out, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
