I am not sure but I LOVE this scent. I have only made tarts and I use 100% soy
-
Nana's Old Fashion Apple Butter??
I just made tarts today with this FO
-
Mini Muffin Tins
I use the flower shaped metal molds
-
Well I think it was the tart I had melting. It was Brown Sugar Pecan and I changed the tart to Creamy Coconut Pie and it smelled better, so I think the smell was burnt sugar, now that I think about it.

Do electric warmers need to be in open space or can you put them say on a shelf that has a shelf above it?
I have a tower by the TV that houses all theTV stuff and I don't want to put an electric warmer on top and have the cord hanging down, I currently have a tealight on top. I was wondering about putting an electric one on the first shelf but it wouldn't be open, there is the top.
-
I just got a rooster punched tin warmer and I put one of my soy tarts in it and it smells like it is BURNING the tart.
I took the top off and it smells down inside there, like burning and not so much the tart which is all melted. I am wondering if anyone has one of these and if this is normal for the first time plugging it in. I have never used this kind, so not sure.
I still have it plugged in, hoping that is the case.
-
I got that but I am trying to figure what it would say on the scale.
So would it be 4.0oz wax and then .4oz FO?
See what I am saying is, what would the scale read? LOL.
-
100% Soy
Oh good, that is what I use. I might have to make some tarts in this scent
-
Bump please
-
I have the oil but haven't tried it yet.
I use 100% soy, so I am hoping it does good in it
-
Just make it 10% FO for tarts. If your going to use 4 ozs wax, use .4 FO or for 6 ozs use .6 and so on. 10% in tarts is not too much. Any time I test, I just use 10%, it's easier to calculate.
Ok so on my digital scale it would say 4.0 oz for wax and then .4oz for FO??
I stink at measurements LOL.
-
I scent my wax at 1.5 oz per 1 lb of soy wax. 1 oz of wax to .1 FO or 5 oz wax to 1/2 oz of FO, about 1/4 oz FO to 21/2 - 3oz wax. Hope this helps. If you use 1 oz FO per lb then I can't figure that out. Sorry....
My Snowtop oils I use 1.5oz FO to 1lb soy wax but the others I use 1oz.
I am confused by your measurements........blonde moment LOL.
So it would be 1/4 oz FO to 3oz wax ????
Sound good lol.

You shouldn't put just FO in a burner. Some people add some water, but then you have to keep an eye on it & keep adding water. But, I have a little trick I use:
I take an unscented tea light. I pop/scoop out the little mini wick. Then, I put the unscented tea light on top of the tart burner, wait for it to melt(melts quickly) & THEN I add just a few drops of Fragrance Oil. Since the wax is in there, I don't have to worry about it evaporating, like the water does.
I just did this today in my crock/warmer. I had a little oil that is not enough to make tarts so I thought I'd use it like you do.
-
Yes I would love to have the info too
-
Does anyone have the measurements down for just making 1 or 2 tarts?
Yeah if you do, I'd like to know hehe
-
I use 1oz FO to 1lb wax.
1/2oz FO to 1/2lb wax
-
Yep that is what mine say. I use shoe boxes with a 5 on the bottom
-
I just got this one. My hubby LOVES roosters so I figured he'd like it and won't say anything about me buying it LOL.
It will go in the kitchen.
-
I use electric tart warmers. I have this awesome one that plugs right into the outlet I can use it as a night light or a warmer. Love it in the bathroom or kitchen!
I have them on my site.
Do you use tarts in your's or oil?
I am looking at one on Ebay and she says to use oil in it

I have seen these but was afraid of the melted wax being that close to the outlet. Is the bowl deep?
-
Definitely electric. I do not like nor will I sell tealite burners. In my experience, they get very hot, smoke, and are prone to cracking.
What kind of electric ones do you have?
-
What kind of warmers does everyone use?
Tealight or Electric?
I have been using a little crock on a jar warmer but want something different. I like the crock/warmer in the bathrooms but want something different for the Kitchen.
LR I have to use tealight, for some reason I can't smell electric in there. I think since it is open into the DR.

That is a good idea too and since unscented tealights are cheap, I buy them at Wal-mart and get the 50 pk for $2.
Do you use a tealight warmer or electric?

just make sure that you are testing at the same percentages that you will actually be adding oil.
if you are using only 1 oz of wax and a capful of oil that is way to much FO and you will not get an acurate measurement of throw.
If you only make tarts why don't you just make a tart and test it that why. I don't understand how it is that much different than what you are describing
and seriously some oils will throw in melts but not in a candle, be careful
When I make tarts, I have to make 12 to test the oil. I haven't gotten the measurement down for just making 1 or 2 tarts so I use a 1/2lb wax and make a batch.
