So do the higher temps make the oil disperse better? Perhaps that is the trick. Tonight, I poured 3 as normal, except that I only poured them 2/3 full. I waited for the candles to set, then heated up the remaining wax to top them off. Since the oil pools on the bottom, I figured even if I got a concentration, it would be higher in the candle. I got the wax hotter than normal by accident, poured, and can't seem to see any puddling. Perhaps this will do the trick! Thanks for all the input, I really apprecite it!

I love the smell of Creme Brulee, and so do my customers. It is my top seller, but the hardest FO to get to mix properly. I have tried hotter wax (IGI 4630 for my containers), cooler wax, but the only way I seem to get a candle without a FO pool at the bottom is to keep stirring it as it cools, or to try and pour it at 123°. I typically make mine around 10% FO, but with Aztec's Creme Brulee, I am down arount 3-5%, and still working harder than I'd like to to get the Fo to stay suspended. I would appreciate any ideas you have for pouring candles with heavier oils. Thanks!

Aztec gets my vote. Very nice. I bought 3 bottles of it from Candle Science once, and it is very different. I still use it, but have renamed it to Maple Walnut, since it smells so different from Aztec's. On another note, Creme Brulee seems to be a very heavy oil... I have been using it at 5% and less strengths, but it still spearates and settles to the bottom very quickly. Any tips on keeping it suspended better? I have even tried pouring it much cooler (123-125°), and even stirring it as the wax gels up, but that is a lot of work. How do YOU handle this?
