SparkysCandles Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Sometimes I wonder if those that work with soy and get frustrated with their candle bc it has no scent throw are testing their candles too soon. I used to get soooooo mad bc I wasn't getting a throw. I would always test my candles the next day and nothing. When I went over to get my stuff there were some candles I made 3 years ago that I wasn't happy with the HT. I am burning one now and the HT is awesome. Soy needs time to cure. Patience is a virtue they say! Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm all about the instant gratification!! I just don't have the patience for soy testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I guess I could have gone with Paraffin instead but I don't mind the frustrations. I do wish I could burn them the next day but I usually let mine cure for 7 days before I test. Also for me soy is easier to clean up and I am messy plus lots of people where I live would rather burn soy despite how I try and dispell false rumors about paraffin candles. Anyway. I'm way off topic now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPacNW Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I only choose FO's that will burn well in EL soy the next day..I get A LOT of made to order requests. They of course get better with days..but they MUST throw in 24 hours. Every oil I pour from Candle Cocoon does. I use a few from ICS and Elements as well.
