I can't get JS Chest.& Brown Sug. & Cinn. Toast to throw?

[KMommy]

I have read so many wonderful comments concerning JS Chestnuts and Brown Sugar but I can't get it to produce any sort of a throw for me in soy. I have tested at least 6 candles so far with different wick sizes and FO load from 5% - 7 % . I am using CD wicks. Same results for JS Cinnamon Toast. It's not a case of candle nose because no one else can smell anything from these candles even after they have been burning for several hours. Normally most of my FO's produce a strong throw between the 5% - 7% FO range. I have one last test candle to try that I made using a cotton wick. I thought that maybe these two FO's needed a hotter burning wick. I just can't figure this one out because all the reviews I read were outstanding but the comments didn't state what type of wax was used. Has anyone had any problems with these two FO's in soy?

How long are you letting your candle to cure? I find the longer I wait the stronger the throw I get with soy. HTH

I would also try adding these two in at a slightly warmer temp than some of the other oils you've used. They are heavy scents, and need to be warmed up a bit in order to bind to the wax.

I use these at 8-9 % in my soy. But I don't normally use any scents (even WYW or CC) at 5-7%.

Some soys just don't work with some FO's. What soy are you using?

[KMommy]

Thanks for the replies. I've tested after 2 days and 1week of curing. I usually add FO between 165-170. I'll try a higher temp. and see if that helps.

You may have to go up on your % in your soy. Good Luck!
