Ravens Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Ok, minds out of the gutter! What I mean is prolonging the pleasure of smelling tarts. Question is: ok, you just made a great smelling tart, but how to you make it last longer? (Like a day, or 2, or 3...) Would adding a USA help? Or is the tart strong enough but you (your nose, really) just get "immune" to it?Or could it be a burner problem? I use the cheap candle warmers from Walmart, not sure how many watts they are, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenscandles Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I don't add anything. I also don't melt tarts if I made any that day of the same type of scent because I'll never smell it. We found that for testing throw we have a warmer in the bedroom upstairs and that is most ideal. The scent fills the whole upstairs. Scents we like we try to turn it on every day for at least a few hours and they've been lasting a good week or so I'd say. Even when I take it out I can still smell it; it's just lighter. And usually I'm wanting to try the next scent!Oh, I should mention that I'm using a pre-blend. If I was using straight wax I'd probably add some additives.

jenscandles Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 The IGI 4794 has additives mixed into the wax already. It is the votive pre-blend. They also make a pre-blend for containers and for pillars. Other suppliers have other versions of pre-blend wax. "Straight" wax has no additives. IGI 1343 is an example of that.
