Holly Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I have the following Peak oils that I want to test:White Tea & GingerOceanGreen Clover & AloeHyacinth Spring RainI was wondering how well these throw in Soy/veggie wax. I did a quick search and there is a lot to weed through....eyes bugging. I have only one oz. of each and not sure if I should test them in the soy (Calsoy CB-3) or the Taylored 50/50. I am limited a bit on time so if one or all are duds in the soy I have to order again and wait. I tested the White Tea & Ginger and Green Clover & Aloe in a paraffin blend a long time ago when I first started making candles. I can't remember the outcome real well, except I think I remember getting a slight fuel smell with one of them....probably need to cut back on the percentage.Thanks in advance for any input. ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 You hit upon the reason I always order a min. of 4 oz. to test in my waxes and B&B......1 oz. is not enough to really do everything. Unfortunately, no one will be able to give you an answer to how these scents will do in your waxes. I'd say pick the wax you really want to make a candle in and test that.

Holly Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Chris,Yes, I'm with you on that....4 oz. or at least 2 oz. is best. This way if it does not work in my "main" wax (CB-3 soy) I try it in the Taylored 50/50. I had ordered awhile ago the 10 1 oz. sample pack from Peaks. I know that not everyone who may answer can say for sure if they will throw well in "my" soy. I am asking if they have done well for others who use soy.....you know that same old question...."how does it throw in soy?" :rolleyes2 I should have included in my post (CB-3 Soy) -- I will add that in. Others here use it. I will post my results. Thanks.~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelleRie Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 All of those were strong in my 100% soy (except the Ocean, haven't tried that one). I have not tried a Peaks FO that did not do great!! And I have never had to use more than 1oz PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
