Azsunset Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I really am trying to make this scent work with my wax because my friend loves it.I am using 3022 as wax (70 soy 30 paraffin). I am using the New Mown Hay from Sweetcakes at7.5%. I heated to 185 and pured around 180.My glass is 3 inch diameter straight sided glass.The problem I am having is all the wicks I have tried are drowning and not putting off a good hot throw at all. I have used CD12, CDN12,CDN14,CD and CDN 16, CD 18 and CDN18 and just tried tonight a Premier 780.I am at a loss of why the drowning wicks. I have also tried using my 3022 and mixing it with 30% 4694, to make it a firmer wax. And I am still having the problems.Also with this fragrance I noticed that around the wick there looked like a little dark brown coloring to the wax. I have never seen that before with any other fragrance. Any ideas??Any suggestions on wick size or something else I should do??Thanks for you help!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Have you tested it at a lower percentage FO, like maybe 6%? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this same pool around by leather and sandalwood fragrance. I had to drop the FO from %6 to 4% and wick up from a CDN8 to a CDN 14/16. I think it's a woody component to the blend. How are you going with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
