Hello . I am new to candle tart making and I have a newbie dilemma, lol. I have read the above comments on heating the wax and adding a FO that has a low FP will not “burn up” the HT. Here is my dilemma. I purchased a para/soy blend for making tarts and was given instructions to heat to 195, add color, then drop to 180, add scent. Well, I purchased a “jolly rancher “ scent (8oz) that had a FP of 154. I used the above instructions and there was virtually no HT when cured and used. I can’t understand for the life of me what happened. It’s like it ‘burnt off” as soon as I added it. At the time I was using 1oz / Lb of wax melted., switched to 2oz per Lb and it still had no HT. The FO was high end (pretty expensive) but I now have not one jolly rancher tarts lol. So could this have been the oil itself because it had a very strong CT? Thanks so much

Thank you. I started out purchasing FO from eBay, some did good, most didn’t, so I switched to Natures garden. Do you all have a FO supplier that you recommend with a great HT?
