moniek Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 When you add this stuff to your candles to keep them from fading, does it affect the burning of the candles? I mean do you have to re-test when you add this stuff? How many of you use this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have never noticed it affect the burn. However, I suppose it may depend on what wax you are using. I use paraffin 139 MP and can't speak for soy or container waxes. Probably best to test at least one candle to see what the results are for your wax.

Jane42 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I asked this question awhile ago and all the answers I received said "No, it does not affect the burn". So far, we have found that to be true.This may be helpful...http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1912&highlight=uv+burn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moniek Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 What colors do you use this for the most? Reds seem to fade more, purple to. I think reds are the worst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think reds are the worst!I use UV inhibitor in all of my candles. Some products apparently work better for some colours than others. I think that all products are of some benefit regarless of colour. I also find that the FO you use can affect how well the colour holds up.Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I use it and no affects if using the right amount. Can't tell you what it would do if you used too much as I don't find the need to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think reds are the worst!It's not the color that's the problem it's the FO. The FO's I have found that fade the worst is straight Vanilla or anything with Vanilla in it, Blueberry & Mulberry. There are others but so far these are the ones I have problems with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.I guess I did not make myself clear. These scents tend to fade worse than others thus requiring UV inhibitor, to keep them from fading or at least slow down the fading process.Direct sunlight is the worst about fading candles next to that is florescent lights.
