So 1.6 oz of fragrance is ok.

It is not worth cutting the corners for the poor quality in product you may get.

Either the wax is too hard of a wax (I put 3tsp of coconut oil in my soy wax) or they are cooling too fast. Also, environment has alot to do with pours. If you’re pouring in a cool room your tarts can end up looking horrible.ake sure your room is warm enough when pouring. In the winter time I always put a space heater in my work area due to the fact my house is pretty darn cold and uneven heat due to our heat source. Trial and error.

This wax is particularly soft and we use 2 oz. of fragrance per pound of wax. Is this fragrance load too high for plug in warmers? We have some fragrances with a flash point of 150 degrees and some with 200 degrees. We usually just use our excess to pour into silicone molds. We haven’t used any yet but wanted to know if this is too high a fragrance load for these types of warmers.

For instance Nature wax C3 is up to 6% and GW 464 is up to 12%

Instead of an 1oz, maybe 1½oz ?
