okay. thanks sooo much!

yes, i've tried a few different FOs & they all do the same thing, no HT, but a great CT. they burn nice, have a good melt pool, etc, but just no throw! should i try different wicks for the pillars then?

the melt pool is great. if i put my nose right up to the candle i can smell the scent. there is just no throw at all!

actually, yes. every scent that i've used doesn't get a HT. the fruit slices scent i used had a great CT, but no HT. would trying a different wick work? i think i'm doing everything else right...

i'm pretty new to this whole candle making thing. Eco wicks??

okay. so last weekend i posted about how to make my candles give that awesome scent throw. i am using 4625, 24 ply flat braid wick, pillar candle (3 x 6.5 round), all from Peak. the scent is the French Vanilla. i added FO at 175 degrees then poured. i used 1 oz of FO to 1 lb of wax. i let the candle cure for 6 days. the scent is extremely light. could it be the FO or am i doing something wrong??

sweet. thanx! :smiley2:

so is 1 oz to 1 lb of wax good?

okay cool. i'll try that. thank you guys all so much!! i really want to learn i'll letcha know how it turns out in a couple days. you guys rock!!

haha. i have a few different scents. French Vanilla, Raspberry, Fruit Slices, Lilac, Strawberry-Kiwi. all are from Peak. what is LX? i actually bought one of the kits that come from Peak. the 24 ply flat braid is what they sent with the 3 X 6.5 pillar mold.

Sorry. 3 X 6.5 pillar candle. I'm using Peak Candle Supply's FO.

how much FO should be added to a pound of paraffin 4625 for a strong throw?!

that is one thing i did not do!! thank you! i will do that next time =)

a pillar candle. i am using 24 ply flat braid. i also have made a couple tealights with it, with zinc core. any advice i would love. also, what is curing??

Hello. I'm fairly new to candlemaking. How can I get my candles to have that powerful smell? I am using IGI-4625, 1 oz of fragrance to 1 lb of the wax. The candles smell good, but it's not that wow! crazy scent. Please help!!!!
