JustJackie Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I am with you- I ones I tried from NG just didn't do well for me in soy tarts. AND it stinks becuase I LOVED the OOB smell of about 20 of them! I would love to see what others have to say about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 How much FO did you use? Maybe that is the problem and you need to up that amount. But, I tested the Ecosoya cb before and didn't like it all. I couldn't get much of a throw out of it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I ordered 20 samples from Nature's Garden last fall and could not get a good throw from any of them. I use 6006. I know there are many who love NG, but they just don't work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Funny, I didnt pick the ones you did so no help. Of all the ones I have chosen for the c-3. All but one worked very well and that one is not sold anymore. They are made to work in SOY, Dont ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizbizzyb Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Im sorry I forgot to say I used 1.5oz pp.Try using less. Do you use any additives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiegal Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Try using less. Do you use any additives? no additives. Im a bit confused now, how does using less help? I will pour another today with less fo ( 1oz pp?) but itll help me to understand how it helps.KWIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I only tried their pomegranate in paraffin + stearic, at 3% (0.5 oz pp) and cold and hot throw is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbtddr Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 with less fo the only thing i noticed was with to much you get a slower burn it slows down the melt pull.and with paraffin it smoked more with more scent.but the ones i tested i got better scent throw at 1.5 per lb. i never noticed any more scent in the ones i tried at 2 oz on. at one ounce i got a lot Les scent throw.

Terrie Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 It could be that NG FO's just don't work well with your wax. As much as I LOVE Peak, and love their products, their FO's do not throw in my wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Im sorry I forgot to say I used 1.5oz pp.How long did you cure the candles for? I cure all of my candles for at least a week and yes, I use soy too. Trying curing for a week and retest.I never used NG scents so I have no idea how strong their scents are. Trying curing.

Trying curing.Fire:cool2: First test was 24 hours,then I waited a week for the next test burn thinking it may need more time. Im going to try the left over fo in my pillar blend to see how it does I may have more luck with that. I loved all the scents oob so I guess Ill just order some samples from another company. I will say NG was a pleasure to order from they called me with a question about my order, shipped very fast I have a few more samples from them Im goin g to try before I give up.

Fern-Marie Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I must have a hundred of their scents. All work great in tarts and wickless..But hard as I try, I cannot get this darn Lemongrass to throw with a wick in it...7 batches, 3 different waxes, and 11 wicks later....NOTHING!I'm half out of my mind trying to wick a freakin' flower pot votive and a mason mug. What on earth is going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Terrie, I don't have much luck with alot of Peaks' FOs in my wax. The ones I use, I use in B&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
