Soy takes a bit to complete its ct potential.  Let them fully cure covered before you decide. Sometimes it takes a while for the crystal formation in soy to maximize CT.

I never knew CT develops during cure time as well! 

Thank you so much for this info. I cure all my candles for at least a week before selling so I will lid them and smell them again when cured!

Lighter scents are attractive to some buyers so bear that in mind if you are selling.  You also could have candle nose.

Very true! I'm considering marketing this candle as having a more subtle scent on my website

Thanks for your feedback!

I did test all my scents, formulas, fo-loads and wicks before I started making them in batches so that was luckily not the problem :). 

I actually figured out the problem was unfortunately with my nose, not the actual candles.. I had all members of my family smell the "scentless" candles and to them the scent was actually quite strong. After a long walk outside to "re-set" my nose I smelled them again and yes, I could smell them now, not as strong as my family described it, but the scent is there. 

I hope this is not the beginning of the dreader candle-nose because going on a long walk every time before being able to smell my candles sounds very time-consuming..

Hi all,

need some advice on remelting a batch of candles I made yesterday using C-3 Naturewax.

I made 3 batches with 3 different scents, all using the same method in the same containers (200ml / 7oz jelly jars). Two of the batches have a great cold throw, the third is practically scent-less..

Now I'm thinking to remelt the scentless batch to add more FO, since the FO used is way more subtle straight out of the bottle compared to the other two.

I just wanted to check if anyone has experience with remelting a batch, adding more FO and then re-pouring? Is there any issues that come with re-melting/re-pouring?
