Grani L Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hello. I hope someone can chime in here. I am testing Candlesciences Honeysuckle Jasmine in Jelly Jars. I used just 1 oz of FO for 16 oz of wax. Added fo at 185, poured around 100. Cured for 3 -4 weeks. CD 12 wick. Cold Throw Pretty strong. Hot throw not doing well at all.For those who use this FO with 415, do you use a bit more FO, do you use a different wick type or do you add this FO at a lower temp? I tried a few FO's in 415, but I think I will float back to 464. I have have some scents throw with it with a shorter cure time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 415 can be very finicky with fragrance oils. When I used 415 exclusively I always used USA & Eco wicks. Added FO at 175 - 180. Stirred like a mad woman and poured at 100. Honeysuckle Jasmine from CS did very well with an Eco 10 in a JJ. For me anyway. Try adding some USA maybe or pluck the wick and stick a Eco wick in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grani L Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I do have some eco 10's. Did you stick with just 6% with that FO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 yes I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I use 415 with this scent, however, use 8% FO. You didn't say what container, if it is 8 oz? If so you may want to drop down a wick size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 i use 415..but have not tested that fo. like lizzy said..415 sometimes just will not give a good HT..in certain fo's..but when you find the one that do..they will throw wonderful..but I think you will find this same problem with any wax you choose..testing is the only thing, that will let you know if it has a good HT..Also do a search on 415..you will find many threads..and information on fo's that do well in 415..Good luck...have fun..it is addicting..

pixie Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 My go to candle wax is 415. I really really love it. I add my FO between 185-195 and stir for 3 min. As others have said, not all FO's will throw in soy. Personally, I only keep about 10% of the fo's I try. But the 10% I do keep throw wonderfully and keep my customers coming back for more. The name of the game with soy is testing..testing..testing... like I said, not all fo's are going to throw and the only way to know, is to test.
