sherley77 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I've been experiementing with 464 wax and I get a great looking candle and I let it cure for a week, but my scent throw is not all that great. It seems to be another added cost to the candle. I would like to know what chandlers think?thanks:cheesy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Not in my opinion. Neither does it seem to help reduce frosting much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The best advice would be to add some to your wax in varying amounts and see for yourself. If you are only adding a small amount pp then that's not much extra cost; especially if it produces superior results. HTH. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherley77 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks, for your input. I will try a couple of test runs and see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlover Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It hasn't done much for me with 464; in fact, I've had more problems with weird tops and sinkholes when using it (which it helps with a lot of people). I'm going back to not using it for my current batch of candles....we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) I use it.. you'll even find me reference it if you search for old threads on adding coconut oil.I DO think it helps with throw on some scents. I use GB464. I dont think it helps with ALL. And.. I do notice less sink holes with it, but not smoother tops.I have tested the burn on w/coconut and w/o coconut. The ones w/o coconut, the tops are rougher after a burn. They burn at the same pace, maybe slightly slower with co.. and I do personally think they have a better throw. But again, this is my testing.. with my container.. my wick.. and my fragrances.Nobodies test is going to be the same. PS I use 2 tsp pp. I think the candles are also fine without it, its just something I've always done and will continue to do for a consistant brand.

Catlover Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 A-ha! I just tried 1 tsp. pp...maybe I should try a little more. I don't worry about the smooth tops--that works itself out or I just pop it with a heat gun. I thought it was so strange that I had more sinkholes when I used it. Again, it could be the weather...going from a/c to open windows (even though I kept the window closed where I was working)? I'm not giving up on it just yet--in fact, it was a couple of your posts (Luminous) that convinced me to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
