islandgirl Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Maybe the FO is burning off to quickly??? Try adding more tarts to the warmer, or try using a lower watt warmer.If that does not work, try a new FO.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 What FO, what percentage, at what temperature are you adding your FO? Need more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 But how much FO per lb of wax? I use 1.5oz FO to 1lb soy. Haven't used what your using all by itself for anything, so can't say if the wax throws. But if using 1.5 fo I would think it would throw for at least a day or two....

Holly Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 My luck lately is not good. This is the last thing I wanted to hear. I just ordered a whole box of it!!!!!!!!

debscent Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I use a 50/50 blend in granules, I heat to 180 and pour around 150. Sounds like your FO is not incorporating into the wax. My clamshell cubes last anywhere from 2-3 days for 1/2 an ounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizimarezie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I use their "KY All Natural Pillar/Votive Wax". Is that the one you're referring to? I heat to 195-200, add FO at that temp and pour at 175. Have never had a problem with scent throw and, in fact, have had compliments on how long the fragrance lasts.

Have never had a problem with scent throw and, in fact, have had compliments on how long the fragrance lasts.If we are talking about the same wax -- KY's Para-Soy Tart/Votive blend -- this is what I have read as well when I researched it. Maybe you are talking about Ky All Natural Pillar/Votive Wax. ?? I bought a sample bag of the Para-Soy Tart/Votive Wax and poured some and tested. I thought the texture of the wax was perfect for my particular application and the throw was really good as well. However, I did not really focus on how long the throw lasted with vaious scents. I have not gotten that far yet with it. I did get slight dimples on top, but I can live with that. It has a good texture, hot throw and cold throw. I tried mixing my own blend but ended up not happy enough with the texture and how it aged on the shelf. I hope I don't end up dissapointed. I heated to 176, added FO, stirred and poured at 150. Do you find that pouring 175 is better than 150? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Maybe you are talking about Ky All Natural Pillar/Votive Wax. ?? See:I use their "KY All Natural Pillar/Votive Wax". Okay, I just looked on KY's site. KY All Natural Pillar/Votive" wax is not the same as "KY's Para-Soy Tart/Votive" wax.

Denise06 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 I figured it out, I wasnt heat it hot enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustic Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I use KY Para-Soy tart blend and love it. The tarts are creamy and I never have a problem with the hot throw. I have discovered that if your tart warmer gets too hot, your fragrance burns off more quickly, so you might want to try a different tart warmer next time just to see if that might be your problem. I have been buying from KY for years, I have tried other brands but have never found a tart wax as good as the para-soy blend.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
