chrisi Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Really frustrated! I have tried different oils but I can't seem to get my candles to smell when they are lit. As tarts they are very strong but not as candles. I am using soy wax. Any suggestions on where to get oil or any other helpful tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassy906 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 What kind of soy. What wick are you using, what FO are you using, are you using any additives? The good people here will need that info to help you. Unfortunately there are some FO's that are weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleKat Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Also, soy has a long cure time. Sometime 1-2 weeks depending on the f/o. How much f/o are you using?Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidjitsoy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 One of my apple scented candles that i made recently barely smelled at all the day i poured them. After 8 days it smells amazing! Time helps on some scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The add .1 to ever1oz of wax, mix and pour into your container. Next day you will definitely have a strong candle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
