notjustbaskets Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I was wondering if you put 9.5 % of fo in a majority of your candles. I am finding alot of scents I like are not as strong as I would like them. I want to put 1.5 oz of fo per 16 oz candle. I have high expectations for my candles.

WaxFlower Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi. It depends on the fo, some fo's just aren't compatable with soy and just won't throw in soy. I have used anywhere from 3% to 10% pp, depending on the scent. Soy is picky and even if I really like the fo, if it doesn't throw at 8%, I just won't use that fo.

Candlebuddy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 For a 16oz candle, I use 1oz fo + 15oz wax (I usually cure for about 4 days). If the candle doesn't have an awesome cold and hot throw, it's history, and I keep on testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmeroo Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Has anyone had any trouble with Spiced Cranberry? I have tried it several times in soy(C-3) and I also used C&S's premier wax(blend) and still no cigar!Then I thought I would make ornies to get rid of the scent...and still hardly any throw!!!! I got the scent at C&S,since it is closer than BC. TIA, Kimmeroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 If you're talking about Candles & Supplies, it doesn't surprise me ... in my opinion, their scents are hit or miss ... I don't buy from them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
