Tracy K Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi. I'm new at all this and I just made my first tarts this weekend with the Eco Soya pillar/votive wax. It was nice to work with, but I wasn't happy with the scent of the finished product. I think the wax has a nasty smell to it and I could still smell this over the FO in the finished product. Do all waxes have a strong smell to them? If so, what do you do about it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnygirl Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Well, I also use the EcoSoya PB for my tarts/votives. I havent noticed this smell. Is this something you notice when heating the wax? I have gotten an odor when I have heated it too hot, but it goes right away. If it's extreme to where you cant smell your FO's, I think I would have to call my supplier and see what they say, as this isnt a "normal" property of this wax, at least not in my experiance anyway.ETA: How much FO are you useing? I use on average 6% which is 1 oz. FO pp of wax. On my tarts I use a little more, depending on the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy K Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 It has a strong smell before melting. I don't know if this is normal or not. It's the first wax I tried. I used 1oz. pp. Maybe I should give the supplier a call tomorrow. I didn't think wax would have much of smell, if any before melting and scenting it.
