melissa1955 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 OK, I'm new to this game, and maybe just a little slow . I finally e-mailed the manufacturer of the wax I am using to try to figure out why I can't get the fantastic scent throw I should be getting (manufacturer says up to 15% scent load is possible) I've tried almost everything from 5% up to 15%. So my question is do I treat this more like a soy wax, using scents that work better in soy, or more like a parrifin(sp) or fly by the seat of my pants and keep testing testing testing....ANY advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

ChrisR Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You really need to list what wax you're using, what scent and how much per lb., what size container and which wicks before anyone can even fathom a guess to help you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa1955 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Let me try this one more time :rolleyes2 What I am asking, basically, do you treat a 30/70 more like a soy or a parrafin.....or do you just punt ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Punt LOL!!! Since it's more paraffin than soy, you may be able to follow the guidelines more for that than soy.........but unfortunately it's probably more a punt!! Isn't testing fun!!

bugtussle Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 We still need to know what wax it is. I use IGI 6006 80/20 and I treat it like paraffin. It depends on whose it is if you want help. All blends are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa1955 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Calwax cb30 for containers and cb10 for votives and pillers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I have never used CalWax. With 70% paraffin, it should throw good. I don't think 15% FO is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
