the desired strength. We suggest starting at 6% (1 ounce per pound)
and adjusting accordingly. We suggest not using more than 1.5oz.
per pound. Higher fragrance loads will
have an adverse effect on your candles burning properties. Higher
fragrance loads may contribute to excessive smoke, coking (soot) and
blooming (mushrooming).
Always add the fragrance just
before you pour the candle. Adding scent at too high a temperature
may contribute to some the fragrance being lost. It is very
important to make sure you fully mix the wax and the fragrance
before pouring.
Fragrances may vary in color and
can cause discoloration to your finished candle. We suggest testing
the fragrances in your application to see if the color may need
adjustment.
Store your fragrances in a cool
dark place; direct sunlight may cause excessive discoloration and
crystallization. This will cause a very short shelf like for your
fragrances. The shelf life of the fragrance will vary for each
particular fragrance, anywhere from 6 months up to a year.
