Hi, I use gb464 and I put 1.6 oz (weighed) in every one pound of wax. I have great throw w/ most fragrances. Some fo just dont seem to do well for whatever reason??? I am new, so I am still figuring this all out. hth, Natalie:cheesy2:

Thanks Debra!

I am glad to know I am doing it right! Being new, I constantly am questioning things, but so far so good:) kandlenutz (natalie):smiley2:

I have wanted to try the cranberry marmalade, but was worried it might b too perfumy. I thought the blackberry one was. I personally like the bnb, and thought it was a nice balance, but I think I read that someone thought it was just a banana smell. I have had repeat customers for it! I think you will LOVE the blueberry cheesecake. It is my second best seller after the pumpkin souffle. I need to start buying them in the 5# jugs!

Hi, I am new to candlemaking and have only used the 464, so I dont have anything to compare it to, but I am now getting great fragrance throws, i had to do lots of research and reading on line, as I am still doing. I didnt know about adding the coconut oil. Lots of testing too. I have found that not all fragrances work equally as strong in this wax. Here is what I do: I heat the wax to 175-180. add my color, remove from heat, cool to 170, no more than 175, add 1.6 weighed oz of oil ( maybe that is too much compared to what most people use, and thats also why I get a good HT? idk?????). This is done at 1# also. Then I pour around 170, in 8oz jelly jars. I did notice that my candles set up MUCH better when poured at a hotter temp. I let them cure atleast for 2 days, but notice that some do better when cured even longer, like a week. I am now trying to figure out what fragrances I can expect to do well in this wax. To help save you some money, here is what I have tried and works great in this wax, all from CS~ Hansel and gretels house, pumpkin souffle, BEST seller~ will never buy another pumpkin again, banana nut bread, blueberry cheesecake, and I liked the strudel and spice too. Hope this helps:)

Hi, I am very new to candlemaking, CS is one of the first suppliers I bought from. These are the fragrances I have tried that did very will in gb464 (soy). Maybe you have already tried these, but thought I would still post incase anyone else was interested.

Pumpkin Souffle- I cant keep this stocked, my best seller

banana nut bread

hansel and gretels house-this seems to be better after curing for a few days, to me atleast

blueberry cheesecake

apples and maple bourbon

I am testing the cinnamon stix, doesnt seem to be as strong as i thought it would be??? sometimes they are stronger the second time you burn them, not sure why???

Maybe this will help you or someone else:cheesy2:
