Gdawg Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I am hoping to get some help with this. I make soy candles and use 10% of fragerence and the only time I can smell it is when I 1st pour it. Once I light it I cant smell it at all. How do you all get a great smelling candle that stays smelling throughout the room. Its like I can buy a candle off a shelf from a retail store and smell it while I am sitting watching TV but I cant smell mine??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I don't make candles but have soaped for a long time. It sounds like you need to find some companies that offer soy FO reviews. From what I have read, soy can be tricky to get a good hot throw. It is all about research and testing.....HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Did you know that you have to let soy wax cure for at least a week in order to get a good throw out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 I did not know that Fern...thanks will have to give that a try to see if that helps me some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yup, that's the way it is with soy. Sometimes within a few days you can smell it, but it's best to wait about a week. By then, you'll know for sure whether it's going to throw or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
