TartAddict Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi all!I'm just wondering if it's necessary to cure tarts. I do a 75/25 pillar/container preblend for my tarts (not soy). I'm an impatient person , but I do want super strong tarts. Do you guys cure your tarts? Thanks D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Nah...no curing time required for those. Let them set up completely and you can pop in the burner right away...I do it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I don't do tarts, but I am curious... why do candles need to cure for scent throw, but not tarts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I don't cure any of my stuff. When I was using soy wax I had to cure them at least 3 days to a week to get a strong throw. But with the paraffin and paraffin blends, once they'd set up, I'd burn them the next day or that same day depending on how long it takes. There really was no difference in the throw...at least not in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well that's what I was wondering. I usually do like Fern and as soon as they're set, I'd pop one in the burner. I recently put one on that I'd had sitting in a poly pro bag for a few weeks and had originally been disappointed with. BUT...after sitting for 2 weeks I felt like it was stronger smelling. Of course, it could just be the whole candle nose thing. I was just wondering if anyone else did cure there tarts and if it made a difference.

Terrie Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I fully subscribe to the "Curing Theory." LOL I think everything gets better as it cures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
