Gretchen Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Anyone have trouble getting this scent to burn? My nose is shot as far as judging the scent throw; I'll need to give it to someone else for that, but getting it to burn right; that's a tough one for me. I use the Eco CBA and the CD wicks.TIA-Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestopotwaxmelter.com Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Sorry, no help here. That is one tough scent to get to work in soy. I've tried and gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 so glad i read this, i was really wanting to order some of this FO to use in my C-3 soy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I bought F&M from AWE. I wicked up one size in a 10 oz. apothecary jar (double wicked with 51Z) and the flames are really low. But, I will say for having low flames the scent throw was good. If I can get the darn thing wicked right I think this will be a winner.Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathleen Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I'm using Candle Cocoon's at 1 oz. per lb. in a 4" jar and it's waaaaaaaaaaay strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz D. Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I've used BCN's Frank/Myrrh with good results. I have a couple customers who are really addicted to the F/M candles. Very good scent throw (EZSoy). I don't sell a lot of these though, so I'm not making them anymore.HTH,Liz D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I use JBN's, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 F & M in general is a very heavy oil and almost always has to be wicked way up, like 2-3 sizes. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 We use F & M in our palm and soy candles. Because it's one of those scents that seems to get better as it ages, we simply use the max recommended amount of FO. We not only get lots of compliments from it, but also when we mix it with another fragrance oil to make a custom scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I use JBN and Millcreeks and no problems. These companies are soy specific.JBN is a bit heavier while MC is a bit softer and powdery. I like to mix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
