So any fragrance I use with my wax I need to heat my wax below the flash point of the fragrance and then add it to my wax? I always thought Flash Points weren't something to watch as long as it isn't in direct contact with Fire ( Flame ) ??
No, melt the the wax and let it cool down to below the flashpoint of the fragrance before adding it. example after melting my soy wax it could be between 80-90 degrees celsius, But it will only solidify back around 50-55 degrees. If the flashpoint of the frag is 75 degrees, I will let the wax cool to 65 (atleast below 75) and add the oil. Hope that makes it more clear.
I’m new to this and wonder about the flashpoint. Is there a risk that a candle goes over a fragrance flashpoint as it’s lit and melts in its candle jar? Also, can I use any kind of fragrance oil or are there only certain kinds I can use? Can fragrance oils smell burnt in a candle if it’s the wrong kind? Maybe silly questions but I have absolutely no idea how this works🙈 I’m trying to find a nice vanilla fragrance to use in my candles but seem to have a hard time finding one.
I'm kinda confused bt the ratio of fragrance to wax. I'm wondering if there's a form with basics we can apply to our changing sizes of candles?? I hope this isn't too dum of a question. :)
Hi there! Please see our fragrance calculator for more information on how much fragrance to add to your wax :) woodenwick.com/pages/fragrance-percentage-chart
Waiting for my kit but in the meantime I am so confused by the flashpoint. If I am combing two oils. One is 205 and the other is 145. The wax directions says to heat to 200-210 add fragrance and pour at 200. I am so confused??? Anyone please explain
Oils may have different flashpoint so it's normal to feel confused. My advice is to follow the individual oil's flashpoint suggestion. The one that's 145 might not be compatible with the wax you're using. But definitely experiment with pouring at the lower temp and see if it works. There's a lot of testing involved with candle making in order to arrive at the final product. Good luck!
Can you tell me if palm wax, soy wax with beeswax, which wax is more suitable for making scented candles and keeping the smell of the scented candles, helps the aroma spread the best. When melting wax, what temperature should be put in, is it appropriate to add fragrance oil and it depends on each type of wax that the temperature for fragrance oil will be different? thank you so much
Ethically sourced beeswax is the sustainable! Our Beeswax coco creme has excellent hot and cold throw. You can refer to the wax label for the appropriate mix and pour temp and fragrance oil is 100% appropriate but you will want to only use a percentage between 8-12% :) you can refer to the Fragrance Percentage Chart on our website for conversions based on your chosen candle size!
Anywhere you purchase fragrance from should provide you with one! If you are shopping at woodenwick.com it will be located in the details section on each product page. :)
Can you mix fragrance oils from The Wooden Wick Co to make even more custom scents?
In the U.K. you’d need a new CLP sheet made for your new mixed fragrance
I ordered my kits on Sunday I’m so excited 😆
Ordered a ton of things including fragrances from WWC last week! I am looking forward to receiving it and trying everything out! 🤗
I ordered my kit and I can’t wait to add to my business
