Candlebuddy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Using more than your wax can hold will cause it to seep out. Also, you can get alot of smoke and soot. I use zinc wicks and I find that if I use more than 1oz of fo per pound of wax, my candles smoke and I get soot on the jars. Guess I should add that I use 6006.

Anita1 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Thanks for your reply.It is indeed good to add if someone responds what kind of wax they use so maybe people could benefit from it.Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brudil18 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Agreed with the above statement. If its a container candle it will look "wet" between the candle and the glass, not very appealing to someone.All the manufacturers have a recommended load that they give for the wax. As a general rule though 1oz. per pound of wax seems to be the norm. Search "fragrance load" on this board and you can find lots of good advice for many different waxes that people use. This will give you some idea of where to go with your testing, but start with the manufacturers recommondations for the wax you are using.

islandgirl Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 To much FO could also effect the wicking and you candles may drown out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
