CatD Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I have tried so hard to make these aroma bead cat scents work, but am having no luck. Everything goes good and I wait till oil is all absorbed into the beads . But the scent never lasts and you can barley smell anything one it is used in the car. Please please help. I’m trying to make my customers happy but I feel like no matter what I try I can’t get the smell to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaDD Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Are you curing your beads after they dry? I’ve read you need to continue to let them cure 7 days longer after absorbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read you need to continue to let them cure 7 days longer after absorbed There are a lot of people that believe this helps but I've never found it to make a difference in my fresheners. I personally think once they're dry they're ready to bake. But like you I've read this in different groups but just never felt like it made a difference. But who knows, we all get different results using the same things at times! What doesn't work for one might be the missing thing for someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbrook Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 You should be weighing everything. The most common ratio is 4:1. That means 4 ounces of beads and 1 ounce of oil. I don't think you can fit very many in a 4 ounce jar unless you are just making enough for one air freshener. You can reduce the weights. If it is 1 ounce of beads just use .25 ounce of oil.

I just want to know how much fo to put into each of the 4oz jars Like pcbrook said you can't fit very many in a 4 ounce jar. I use polypropylene bags and plastic containers to mix mine in. Make sure the plastic has the number 5 on it (although I'm not sure if this really matters since Fragrance oils come in bottles that don't have a 5) but just to be safe. I mix 8:2 ratio. You will need a scale to measure the weight of the beads and FO. Shake them every day and when they're dry they're ready to bake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaps by SunRise Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Maybe is the type of fragrance you are using? I bought a case of mason jars for my beads so I can have different colors, and after a year some of the scents are still strong. I even have some I already made in a drawer from Christmas, and I can still smell them. But I only buy scents from southwest candle supply, WSP, natures garden, and candle science. I love BB, but I find them sometimes too expensive with the shipping and all. Other places, I have never been happy with them. Personally I think glass jars will give them a longer life, but I could be wrong. If I use plastic bags, is because I will use them all within a week or so.
