TartAddict Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi all!I'm playing around with some wickless candles (I figure I'll figure out how to make them look nice and smell good before I attempt the actual wicking part, LOL). I'm using J223 and am wondering what % FO to use. I have used 10% and some are strong (Almond Pastries), others are pretty weak (Home for The Holidays). I'm using little 4 oz baby food jars (since I have a TON of them). Since I'm not actually burning the candles, can I up the FO? Thoughts??Thanks D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 You are going to reach a point of no return. Suggested load for J223 is 6 to 9%. Why not try a container with a wider opening 1st to see if it is the FO or the container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbtddr Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 i tried it one time to see if it would help. it did not seem to make the candle any stronger.i could be wrong but to me if the scent is to light at that amount you are not going to get any better scent throw by adding more.i was using the baby food jars to at the time to test them in for scent throw.i added 2 oz to a lb of wax. but on the tart burner you could not tell that it had any more scent in it than the one that had 1.5 oz.the ones with 1 oz you could tell it was lighter. i tried this with three different scents.

SatinDucky Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 As a general rule, even in life....Just because some is good, doesn't always mean more is better Umm.. I think I just confused the old saying... you can have too much of a good thing... Oh, heck, think I need sleep...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
