Thank you for your reply! The recommended cure time for the RCX wax is 48 hours and I always give it that time. The fragrance oils I use are high quality and I am getting a decent hot throw, it's just the delay in it arriving that is bugging me! The CL12s work pretty much perfectly in terms of how the candle burns downward but maybe I need to go looking for a new wick that can give me the scent faster!

My candles take a full hour to start smelling the fragrance in the air. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could help me figure out why this is happening and how to fix the issue! Kevin from Armatage Candle Company said in a Youtube comment "Some are within minutes, others take a good hour to go after the very first light. Depends on the design, but I don't count a candle out if it doesn't destroy me right away. I normally expect something within 90-120 minutes though otherwise I get suspicious." However I don't feel comfortable selling to customers if the scent doesn't appear pretty quickly. Expert level: New - been making candles since February but only getting the hang of it now Wax type: RCX (Rapeseed and Coconut), from CandleShack EU Recipe: Heating to 70C, FO addition at 59C, stir for 2 minutes, pour at 38C. Wick: Tried various but the one that works best is generally C12 - burns evenly and safely, with almost a full melt pool at 3 hours with just a small amount at the edge for most fragrance combinations. Hot throw after the 1 hour / 1:30 mark: Good but not overwhelming FO: Multiple different fragrance oils, all from NICandleSupplies, in many different categories (floral, masculine etc) % FO: 8% Size candle: 3 inch diameter candle tins, 10 inches across the width and 2 inches in height. Additives: No additives Thank you so much!
