YAMS Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Do you all use additives to improve the HT and overall performance of the candles? If so, which one and why? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 No additive will increase scent throw. You can get optimal throw only by using the right combination of wax, wicks and additives along with testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthomas57 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I use blended waxes which already have any additives I may want in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chariste Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I have used stearic to help with mold release in novelty candles but other than that, I'm with the others. Test, test, test and accept that some combos of FO, wax, and wick just don't work lol. And some are amazing! I have experienced the frustration, but it is also part of the fun. To find the right combo that provides an amazing result is part of what I love about this pursuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshaler Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) I have been experimenting with additives and to tell the truth I am not positive they help ? I tried vybar inconclusive ,SA inconclusive and uv inhibitor as well I have gone full circle and am now back to just wax Fragerance o and color my 2 waxes are G 464 soy and Parisian 4630 . What I mean by inconclusive is it seems to help sometimes others not . I do want to try alittle beeswax in them to see if it will up my melt point to combat the high temp here in Florida . Good luck ! Edited October 11, 2016 by Kshaler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
