Hi,

I added 1 1/2 oz FO from Bitter Creek to 1 lb of Ecosoya Container Blend 135 Soy wax. I cured it for three days. I would like a stronger smelling candle...any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Well since you can't can't put more FO in your wax there are a few things you can do.

Such as testing different wicks, put less FO in your wax, or you can buy that scent from another supplier to test.

Have you tested that scent at .5 or 1 oz per lb before you went with 1.5oz a lb?

Hi Mindy,

Thank you for the response! I did try two sizes of wicks and burnt both yesterday. The smaller wick candle seemed to be a little stronger. I was using C-85 and C-75 cotton core wicks in separate glass containers that are 3" wide.

Thanks so much for your help, I am trying to get some made that have a strong scent throw before Easter.

There's a lot more to this than information you have supplied?

How hot did you heat your wax?

At what temperature did you add the FO to the wax?

At what temperature did you pour the wax into your container?

If you search on cure time I think you find that most ppl think a soy candle takes more than 3 days to cure.

good luck.
