CelestialSoyCandles Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 How long do you guys/gals let your soy candles cure for? Does that same rule apply to your tarts? Just curious.. Heather Quote

CelestialSoyCandles Posted January 8, 2006 Author Posted January 8, 2006 Well Brian - I guess we will still wonder... lol - I guess noone wants to reply.. Heather Quote
nayarx8 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 i personally dont let my candles cure anymore. but i do have a friend that lets her soy candles in a mason jar cure for a month. Quote
ChelleRie Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I use soy with no additives and let mine cure anywhere from 24 hours-1 week for testing. I am not very patient! Tarts are the same. Quote
Budgie Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I've tested about 5 or 6 different waxes and I've found it depends on the wax and the scent too. Some candles needed about 2 weeks to cure and others were good the next day. If I burn the next day and don't smell anything, I'll usually wait about 1-2 weeks to see if it improves. I haven't noticed this to be the case with tarts. For me, they usually smell good the day after they are made. Quote
roxi4112000 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I burn my tarts as soon as there solid, theve always thrwn good for me:tiptoe: Quote
LynnS Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I just made a couple candles with Magnolia.My friend wanted these candles because Y***** doesn't carry them anymore.Had a little left over(made a tart) and used it in 24 hours.It is awesome.Out of sight.I left and came home 2 hours later and the whole house smells like Magnolias.This was just a small tart and I usually tell my customers 2 tarts make the best throw.This is a keeper for spring and summer.Have been looking to add some scents for this season.

A few weeks later i burned them again and they were the bomb. I figure a week at the most Quote
