    Wow, crisco oil, like plain old veg oil or the shortening? I haven't heard that one. I'll will try that now, my wax is ready to go. My container wax is js 50/50, maybe do 1/2 4791 and 1/2 of js 50/50??

    I've tried iced oatmeal raisin cookie,and gourmet sugar cookie. They are a lighter fragrance, I'll keep trying, I just want to master this soooo bad! Thanks very much, what a great place to candle talk and learn! Much appreciated! Julie

    I'm pouring at 175, and mixing for a good minute. I'm not adding any vybar to this already blended wax. I don't think I have candle nose, I warm a tart and leave the house, come back in few hours and smell it "ok". I know my tarts don't rock like some other candle makers I've bought from before I started. Her's are unbelieveable. I guess I will try mixing a little longer and maybe add FO at 180 - 185, and see what happens. My thermometers are new, so I believe my temp is correct. Do you pour at 175 like candle science suggest?

    Thank you for your reply, I use 1 to 1 1/2 oz fragrance per lb of wax. I use Just Scents, Bittercreek, Natures garden, Indiana Candle Co. I am just stumped and frustrated, My JS 50/50 WOrks great in my containers, and my pillar wax I love too. I thought tarts were suppose to be easy!! ugh! Thanks again.

    Hi everyone, I'm been making candles for about 8 months now and still having problems getting a fabulous hot throw in my tarts, my containers wax I love. I've used straight paraffin with vybar, 3134, and igi 4794. I'm testing the igi 4794 now and getting a ok hot throw, but I want knock your socks off hot throw. I pour at 175 as advised. I've even let my wax cure for weeks!! I know there is a formula out there I've smelled them before. Any suggestions? Thanks sooo much:) . Julie c
