Hello! I’m new at candle making and have some questions regarding the GW 464 soy wax flakes. I feel as if my hot throw isn’t the strongest. I like it when candles are very overwhelming and make the entire room smell. My candles definitely have something there but it’s a more of an in the background type of smell. I only waited 24 hours before testing one of mine though. The website said to wait at least 24 hours before burning while I’ve read people on here say to wait 2 weeks. Could that be why it’s not as strong?
I use a 9 oz Straight sided jar with CD 18 wicks. The diameter of the jar is a little more than 3 inches. I heat my wax to 180F then remove from heat to add the FO. I used 10% so 1.6 oz per pound. I made a second batch yesterday to test 6% but haven’t burned them yet. I also made two more at 8% to test as well. I stir the wax for around 2-3 minutes after adding the FO then let cool for pouring.
