  1. Hi all, Just wondering what is the best soy wax to use for tarts/melts? I want a soy wax that will hold alot of FO as I want really strong smelling tarts/melts. Thanks for your help! :smiley2:
  2. jennhalcyon -Jenn, Thanks for your advice:yay: I will increase the temp at which I add the fragrance and hopefully that will help. The fragrance was Raspberry from Candlewic. I think I'll try PEAK's FO's next. I'll try and burn a melt again today as it would have been about 3 days since pouring. Then I'll burn another one in a weeks time & see if that's any different. Maggie -Thanks Maggie for your advice too. Similar temp to what jennhalcyon said to add the FO in at. Thanks! debscent -I tried Raspberry from Candlewic and I have a couple of other bottle from them that I will need to try.:smiley2: Thanks again for all your replies, much appreciated
  3. Thanks debscent:) This is the first time using the CBL 129 as Candlewic advised this was the best wax for tarts/melts. The FO is from Candlewic also, are the FO ok from there? Thanks for your replies....
  4. Thanks for your reply Ring of Fire I was told by Candlewic to use CBL129 for tarts/melts. Apparently it is a paraffin wax. It's their custom blend wax. I'm so confused now on what wax I should be using for tarts/melts. How is your scent throw in the 4794 as I want really strong tarts/melts.
  5. Hi all I was wondering what type/brand of wax you all use for candle tarts/melts? Also, where is the best place to buy FO's from as I want really strong smelling tarts/melts? Your help is appreciated as I am having problems in getting a really great scent throw with the wax CBL-129.....:undecided Thanks
  6. justcountry- Hi & thank you Patience- Thanks IlluminatedGifts- Thanks for your reply, I am adding the FO at approx 150"F and it was 6%. If you are getting a good scent throw from this wax, how much FO are you using? Thanks for your replies.....:smiley2: Anymore candle maker's out there, please help??....
  7. Hi all, I'm new to this board and I would really appreciate some advice on making candle tarts/melts. I am starting to make tarts/melts and have used CBL129 wax. I have added the fragrance 6% just before pouring. When testing the tarts/melts in an oil burner, there is no scent at all. What would I be doing wrong? Should I be adding anything else to the wax? I look forward to your replies.
