cswilson Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I made a couple of jar candles with Whipped Cream fragrance oil, and no color. As they were curing I noticed there were orange streaks all through the candle and at the bottom of the jar. The longer it cured, the streaks seemed to lessen in some places and get worse in others. Anybody have any ideas what I did to cause this:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It would help if you tell us what wax you used; the amount of wax and the amount of FO you used for a start. Often FO that leaks out of wax means either you used too much or didn't incorporate it into the wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cswilson Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 I used a pound of 4630 wax, and 2 ounces of weighed fragrance oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yes, it's too much. I use that wax and never have to go over 1oz pp with my FO's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) that is 12%+ - way too much. Melt it down, add another lb of wax and you should be good to go. Edited February 5, 2012 by Pam W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
