Lightning Bug Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hi. I'm back already with another question. On a candle site they mentioned taking the temperature of the melt pool as too low of a temp and you do not get a very good throw. It was mentioned that 150 was what they aimed for. I'm using soy/veg blend. I wasn't getting much throw and tried it and got 120 in a 1/4" MP. Any ideas about this? TIA. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Yes your melt pool temp will effect the scent throw. Depending on where you take the temp your melt pool will have different temps closer to the wick is hotter. That is what you really have to worry about as wicking to hot can and will burn off the scent and wicking to low will decrease the throw. But if you are getting a full melt pool you should be getting some kind of throw. You just need to find a happy medium also some FO do well at lower temps some at higher. That is also why we test to find FOs that do well in our waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
