number2of7 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I ordered some of the colored flakes from Ky Candle Wax Supply. I made my first batch of tarts and just sort of threw some in there since there were no directions.The color came out great, but my scent isn't lasting more than about 2 hours. I used their wax specifically designed for tarts (Parasoy, I think), and followed their recommended suggestion for melting and pouring temps.Could I have possible used too much dye? I think I remember reading about adding too much color can prevent scent throw. For those of you who use this type of dye, is there a specific amount I should be using?

debscent Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Did you let your tart "cure?" How large is the tart you made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetacea Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 what is your FO %?? If the color turned out fantastic then you should be concerned about your FO %.In the future to get the right color, put a couple of drops of wax onto a white sheet of paper to test your color. You will get an idea of the strength of the color and tone that way. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 I let the tarts cure for 3 days, and I used 1oz of FO ppw. The tarts are 1oz each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
