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:

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

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....

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.

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

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??....

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.
