ILVCANDLES Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Ok I am about to pull my hair out... I am using NG Hot Orange Danish in J223 wax heating to 200 then adding FO(1.5 per pound of wax) at 175 pouring at 160. It smells so good when its still liquid then when the wax gets hard the scent isn't so hot...why is this...Please help me!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 How long has it been since you poured? Some candles just need a longer curing time before you get a good cold throw. If you just poured today that could be why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just poured today that could be why.Or could be one of those pesky "poor throw" FO's. But do give it alittle time to cure before giving up. I don't have to let my J223 cure. But haven't ever used this FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 None of the NG scents threw good for me in 223. I never ordered from them again. Hope this is not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 J223 does do a good job with most FOs I've tried. Out of 20 I think about 2-3 didn't throw well or were just plain stinkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILVCANDLES Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 I made a candle on 6/21 and it doesn't really smell great I only used 1 oz per pound w/ this candle then I just made one today and thought maybe if I used 1.5 oz per pound it would be better...The OOB smell is so so strong I just can't understand why my candle doesn't smell 1/2 as good...I hate to give up but I made a couple candles a couple months ago w/ this FO and the same problem...I guess HOT ORANGE DANISH WON...because I sure as heck can't figure it out! Off to eat a cookie always makes me feel better! Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I found with the 223, that if you mix FO at 165* it throws better - vanillas I might go 170*. And I never heat the wax to 200* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
