Soy Temperature when adding fragrance!

Sun, 10/08/2006 - 20:27 — soyjoy

I am new at the whole candlemaking thing. I was wondering what the proper temperatures are for adding fragrance and color. My original instructions I received told me to add fragrance at 105 degrees. Everything else I have read and viewed shows fragrance going in at a much warmer temperature. I know if the wax is too warm the scent will burn off. What is the proper add temperature, anyone??? Please help.

Doing it on cold....

If it's already cold, put some scents on the melted mixture. It keeps the scent and it lasts long. Try it! I've seen this tip on term papers and journals online.

Soy Temperature when adding fragrance!

My fragrance supplier said to let the wax cool to 125 before adding scent so the scent does not evaporate. redmaple www.stores.ebay.com/art-landscape www.redmapleenterprises.com

Soy Temperature when adding fragrance!

I usually heat my wax (GW464) to 180F. I add color and stir, then add the FO at about 175F. There are a few that I have to heat even to a higher (200F) temperature to ensure a good hot throw.

HI!
I am very new to this also, but from all the reading on these forums I have seen postings that said to add scent at 150 and one that said 125. I guess that is to also help prevent frosting over the candle. Please don't take my word on that, but that is what I have notes on so far from this forum. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
