scifichik Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I wanted to make a sampler collection of fragrances. We bought some 2 oz portion cups with lids to pour into. We waited until the wax was around 120 before we poured. Here's the weird deal, some of the cups have split open after the curing process and others are just fine. All of one fragrance split, but another remained intact. All cups were filled to half or 2/3.Happily, I don't have much money tied into the cups. The people who got them are my usual testers who give opinions on the hot throw in a melter so they really don't care how the packaging looks. I've been invited to a vendor show next month and would like to offer sample/freebies, but not if the cups are split. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How can I prevent this in the future?

SuzyK Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hmmm. That's odd. What is the number on the bottom of the cups? I pour quite a bit warmer than that (145-155) so it can't be temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifichik Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'll check when I go back out (tomorrow or next day) and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I had that happen when I first started. I was just using the cups I bought at Sam's Club. The fragrance in the wax will degrade the plastic. I now get mine through co-ops here and they are sturdier plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifichik Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next co-op on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
