darsmith Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Do you shake the FO up before you add it to the wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyW Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I don't think it is a dumb question. I have a few that "settle" so I may shake them but normally I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CellarDweller Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I guess I never really thought about it, but I do give a quick shake(sometimes more if settled), just make sure the cap is on tight. heeeThe only dumb question is the one you do not ask. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMama6 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I had a really big problem of a few oils not incorporating once and so I started shaking and heating them to solve the problem.Now, I think more out of habit, I shake all my oils before making anything. I don't shake right before I pour though as it can lead to bubbles in the oils. I take out what I am going to make and shake it several times as I turn on my presto pot. By the time my wax is ready, any bubbles in the oil have dispersed and I am ready to go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm a shaker. Started off that way so it's a habit and part of my routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darsmith Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I hadn't been shaking them until recently. I had a FO that didn't smell the same and I gave it a shake and it smelled great.But, I hadn't heard of anyone on here saying anything about it and wondered if it was okay. I had searched for info on this and could not find any. I will be shaking them from now on.This place has been great for learning how to make my tarts. Thanks,Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
