Adding your fragrance oil when your wax is at the right temperature will help it bind to the wax and give you a stronger scent throw. If you are using a wax that has a higher melting point, you may need to increase the temperature of your oil.

What does a low flashpoint mean?
The lowest temperature at which a chemical can form an ignitable mixture in air is the flash point. Higher flammability is indicated by a lower flash point. An ignition source is needed for measuring a flash point. When the ignition source is removed from the container, the vapor may cease to burn. Flashpoint is measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
A flashpoint of 100° F (38° C) is considered to be the boiling point of water. Flashpoint can also be expressed as a percentage of the ambient temperature. For example, 100% means that the temperature is equal to or greater than the average temperature in the room where the test is conducted.
What does oil flash point mean?
The flash point of oil is the temperature at which the vapor over the liquid will ignite upon exposure to an ignition source. If the flash point of the liquid is less than the temperature of the fuel, it is considered to be dangerous. The flashpoint of a liquid depends on the amount of oxygen present in the mixture.
The higher the oxygen content, the hotter it will burn. For example, if a mixture of water and oxygen is heated to 100°F (38°C) and then allowed to cool to room temperature, then the water will be at a temperature that is greater than that of its oxygen.
This is called the “flammability” or “explosiveness” of that mixture, and it is important to note that this is not the same as the boiling point, which is a measure of how hot a substance will boil when exposed to a source of heat, such as a flame or flame-thrower.
Which wax holds the most scent?
Paraffin wax holds the most scent of any of the waxes we carry. The throw was very cold and hot. Good single-pour properties and good glass-to-glass transfer properties.

The most common use of coconut oil in cosmetics is in the form of a moisturizer, but it can also be applied topically to the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Because of its high melting point, it is also used to make cosmetics with a high degree of pigmentation, such as lipsticks and eyeshadows, as well as cosmetics that contain a lot of pigment, like lip glosses and eyeliners.
In addition to its moisturizing and pigment-enhancing properties, the oil also has a number of other uses, including the production of biodiesel, a renewable fuel that is more environmentally friendly than petroleum-based fuels.
Why don’t my candles smell strong?
If you notice that your candles are not making a strong enough hot throw, you may want to lower the temperature at which you add the fragrance oil. You can also try adding a small amount of water to the wax before adding it to your candle. This will help to keep it from burning too quickly.

How many drops of fragrance oil do you put in a candle?
How much essential oil should be added to candles. I have found through a lot of testing that you should add a minimum of 100 drops of essential oil for every 100 candles you use. If you are using more than 100, you may need to increase the amount of oil you add. How to use essential oils.

The key is to experiment and find out what works best for you.
How can I make my soy candles smell stronger?
Add fragrance oil at 185Fº and stir gently and thoroughly with the melted wax. This is the optimum temperature for the wax and fragrance to bind in order to provide the best scent throw. Before testing burning, let your candles cure.
