I use 8oz flint jar and 100% Midwest soy or a custom parasoy blend. I make test candles and put them on my shelf for 3-4 months before lighting. I start with 100% soy and after the cure if the scent isn't strong enough for me I do the parasoy. The parasoy I cure 6 weeks before burning. I use 6% for almost every scent. Some over powering scents I use 5%. I never go more than 6%.
editing to add
I have very few parasoy candles. There are a few scents I wanted in candles that just don't work in soy.
I am having the hardest time wicking the 8 oz flint jar with Midwest soy...I want to love the HTP 104, but the hangup on my jars during the first 3-4 burns doesn't seem to catch up on subsequent burns. Any suggestions on wick?
Can someone explain this scent throw phenomenon?
