  1. Nope soylights..you are not alone..

    I just placed an order for a small 4oz bottle of Candy Cane FO from Berts along with a few other sample size FOs(my first order with this supplier) and will let you know if it works out or not :)

    I also purchased a bunch of different sized CD wicks to try. I 've been using eco and htp but reading alot about how much better CD wicks work with soy.

    Finding the right wick can be very frustrating to say the least :confused:

  2. I've been having the same exact problem with Candy Cane/Peppermint FOs. No problem at all with cold throw or tarts but lit in a candle and the smell is not very good at all. A fuel smell is a perfect description of it.

    I have tried it in IGI 6006 and also Glassglow palm wax .

    Does anyone know of a good peppermint or candy cane fo that will work well with any type of soy or palm wax?

    I found it really wierd that the tarts I made smelled great melting away on my little burner....cold throw wonderful too...bu that smell of the lit candle....ick lol

  3. Yesterday I added a small amount of Thecandlemakerstores Home sweet Home(which smelled like clove to me) along with the Cinnamon and Very Vanilla and that smelled pretty good too.

    I call it Spiced Vanilla.

    Thanks for the tip about using q tips and FO in a bag Stella! I have wasted quite a bit of FOs mixing this and that in small bottles only to sniff and say yuck. lol

    You are all so full of great advice here :) I'm so new to candlemaking and still have sooooo much to learn and have learned alot from this forum in such a short amount of time being here. :)
