MsSunshine Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I am using CB135 for my wickless candles that go in a candle warmer ~ can I add extra fragrance oil for my wickless jars? I am making container candles with CB135 and using 1.5oz per pound. I value your opinions! Thank YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I use 75% 135 with 25% PB and get a good throw at 10% FO load. Never tried straight 135. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Wick or no wick, wax can only hold so much FO. Looks like your already using about the Max. I wouldn't suggest using any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdaines Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Wax manufactures usually provide a recommended FO range or it can be found online. You might be able to exceed the top end by a small amount. Your wax will tell you if there is too much FO by weeping and generally looking nasty.

HorseScentS Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If you use too much FO it can distort the fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I use soy wax and I use 1.2 oz per lb and I have great results. I don't feel the need for more. I've actually had some customers tell me some scents are too strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporadic Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's really just wasting money to add more FO. Waxes can only hold so much before it starts seeping, and it won't make the wickless candle any stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
