Silver, Thanks for your reply's on both boards. I really need the help. I'm taking your advice and will let them cure for another couple of days before burning them again. I am using colors with candles. So far i've been using a 10% FO load, with a digital scale that I measure by weight. I'm looking to go into business and i'm not sure if i'm going to offer colors. I have liquid dye so my results can be reproduced if need be. Do you use the 4627? What temp do you add your FO? How hot do you heat the wax before you add your FO? What temp do you pour? I've used the following scents LoneStar Blueberry cobbler NCCS Warm Vanilla Sugar CS Wildberry Mouse CS Beach Linen DPS Moonlight Path DPS Mango DPS Blackberry Vanilla LoneStar Pound Cake

I read somewhere that Vybar helped with the FO throw. I'm still new to this so please excuse my ignorance. I'm testing the candles in a closed 16x10 bedroom, every 15 mins for Throw. The throw after about 2 hrs of burning would be described as a little bit stronger than a used dryer sheet, but not as strong as an unused dryer sheet. I'd expect to open the door and cough. Your help is appreciated.

I read somewhere that preheating was a good idea. Thanks for the time saving tip. I did not preheat the FO. I thought about it though. I just added the FO to the wax at 180. I think i'm good with the wicking, however i'm sure someone would say that the hot throw is directly related to the melt pool. So I put the tid bit about double wicking it in there. I used two L-12; HTP-52; ECO-6 in my double wicked testers. Same results in regard to FO throw. (Not letting them cure for 2-3 days) I also read that paraffin didn't require a curing time. So my question to you would be the following: Now that i have burned the testers, can they still cure or should i start over with a new batch.

Silver, I Need some help with my igi4627 wax. If you could help that would be great. http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?98606-IGI4627-Hot-Throw-Help.

Having trouble with CT & HT from the IGI4267. I'm sure its just something I'm doing so if you could help that would be great. Below is what I have tried. Almost each FO was from a different supplier. Poured into pre-heated 8oz tins. 3" diameter. Results: All resulted in poor FO throw. I've had better results from NB 464 soy. Hot and Cold throw. I also put the mango and moonlight Path in the electric candle warmer and did not notice a difference in the FO throw. I did not get a full burn pool from any of the containers after 2.5 hrs, and put them out to test another FO. I knew i needed to wick up so i tried double wicking my next batch. The results are just about the same in regard to FO throw. This time i used 1/2% Vybar. I've read the the pouring Temp is 175-185. Your help is appreciated. Thank You!

Would you mind suggesting your #1 supplier for FO's.

I'm having some bad luck with suppliers. Could you please suggest your favorite place.

I was just wondering what you figured out.

Angela, Can't PM yet but i'm just getting into the business. PM me if you can. Looking for local suppliers too.

Do you know of any other suppliers near Joliet. (Glass, fragrance, equipment...ect)

Does it have better HT than straight 4267???

Did you change wicks????

Susan, Did you say you used coconut oil with the batch that was super strong.

Susan, How long did you let it cure before you tested it. And what FO did you use?
