Just watching this video. Bringing the wax up to 185 and pouring in the fragrance + 2 minutes of stirring combo has been AMAZING. Thank you for the tips.
@@earthglowhi I watch your video all the time wondering if you have any suggestions for me about why I’m not getting a hot throw after following these tips, thoughts of what I can troubleshoot?
Very Helpful Thanks, I was adding FO at 180, But I will experiment with it higher....Do you stir for 2 minutes at the temperature..or do yu let it get to the temperature add the fragrance them turn the temp off as you stir? Thanks
Hi! Thank for your video. I have C3 soy wax. Can i use the same tempreture to add fragrance oil to get best HT. And the same tempreture with kerasoy blend pillar. Thank you
Hi Allen! I'm making my own soy candles because I find store bought candles trigger migraines for me. After 5 minutes of having one lit I have to blow it out because the fragrance is so overwhelming. If I want to make a candle that is lightly scented, what fragrance load would you recommend? I like to have candles lit for hours for the ambiance. I want it fragrant enough for a subtle scent but not one that slaps you in the face.
i agree with all tips except mixing FO at 185. mixing at a lower temp will not burn off the FO, 10 degrees lower does it perfectly, try it! ps: it still binds to the wax
If it works for you, that’s great! You run the risk, though, that it will not entirely bind and you are more likely to end up with fragrance oil sweating which can cause a flash fire.
I have a wax melter and it quickly can heat my wax to over 185, of this happens should I turn down the heat and let my wax go back to 185 before pouring to prepare for oil ?
@@earthglow yes with coconut wax I do find it to be better. I will definitely try your tips. I went from 12% to 10% with 464, but not exactly with the tips you've provided.
@@prettyofficialbthony I wonder if using 12% might have been part of the problem? 464 can only hold up to 10% fragrance and if you add more than that I believe it can reduce the hot throw. I’ll have to try a coconut wax sometime. Do you have a favorite?
You could try this but I'd recommend just using 454 wax or some other pre-blended coco-soy that has lots of people talking about it. This can really help with trouble-shooting if there are issues. I do not have a specific percentage to recommend but if it were me, I might start with 5% and go up from there.
I have followed everything to the T before watching your video and the reason why I’m here is because my CT is SUPER but no TR and I use about 1.5 oz of fragrance oils per a lb of wax and still no HT at all. And the fragrance oils I’m using got great reviews for soy way the 464. Please provide any trouble shooting tipssss! Idk what to do because I had a couple candles and they I tested 2 and absolutely no HT at all. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Hi!! So i actually stopped using this wax by itself because recently I found it to be very inconsistent from batch to batch, so if you’re doing everything right (heating to 185, stirring for 2 min, wicking properly, waiting 2 weeks to burn), you probably just have a bad batch. Soy in general is very hit or miss with fragrances but 464 is one of the most finicky soy waxes out there. My current favorite soy wax is No 7, also sold as Soy Bliss. So if you are hard set on soy, give this one a try and you may get different results. Best of luck!
I’m doing all of that except I have been using ECO wicks. I’m using the correct wax to fragrance ratio but am still not getting the fragrance results I want. Help!!!
@@earthglow Following. would like to know your thoughts on Soy 10, Coconut Soy, and Coconut Apricot wax. I'm having a hard time finding the best wicks.
How many of you use 464 soy? What was your experience first trying it?
Just watching this video. Bringing the wax up to 185 and pouring in the fragrance + 2 minutes of stirring combo has been AMAZING. Thank you for the tips.
Good stuff! I'm glad this has helped you.

Definitely helpful with full explanation. Thank you
Thank you for these amazing tips! Have you tried ECO wicks with a coconut soy blend?
Hi Josie! I’ve tried these wicks with soy but not with coco soy. With soy (Soy-10 specifically) they tend to burn cleanly but very hot.
i agree with all tips except mixing FO at 185. mixing at a lower temp will not burn off the FO, 10 degrees lower does it perfectly, try it! ps: it still binds to the wax

@@earthglow the wax is still so hot at 10 degrees lower it's shocking, never had problems with sweating since i add a tiny amount of bees wax. xo
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
I’m so glad! You’re most welcome.
This video was super helpful… Thank you 😊
You're so welcome!
I have a wax melter and it quickly can heat my wax to over 185, of this happens should I turn down the heat and let my wax go back to 185 before pouring to prepare for oil ?
Thank you for some super helpful tips! 😊
You're so welcome!
Great tips. Def will try.
Glad you enjoyed this one!
what type of soy blend gets strong hot throw?
What kind of wicks you recommend for the container with diameter of 7.5-8 cm ? 😊
It depends on your wax and you’ll also need to share more about the container-tin/ jelly jar, etc.
I use it, and I struggle with it a lot. I also use coconut wax but I’m not ready to give up on the soy wax just yet
Do you find that coconut wax gives you a better hot throw? Let me know how it goes when you try these tips!!
@@earthglow yes with coconut wax I do find it to be better. I will definitely try your tips. I went from 12% to 10% with 464, but not exactly with the tips you've provided.

Thank you SO much for this video !!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you só mach do you use coconut soy..?
i do use these two waxes along with beeswax in my own blend :)
Thank you!
Which CD wicks do you recommend?
It depends on the container size mainly! What containers are you using?
Do you pour at 185 for essential oils too or is this only for fragrance oil?
Yes, I'd do my EO at this temp as well for most waxes.
Can I add coconut oil to 464 soy wax, to help with the hot throw? If I can, what percentage would you recommend?
You could try this but I'd recommend just using 454 wax or some other pre-blended coco-soy that has lots of people talking about it. This can really help with trouble-shooting if there are issues. I do not have a specific percentage to recommend but if it were me, I might start with 5% and go up from there.
@@earthglow Thank you for the advice!
What would you say is a good FO percentage for 464?
Hi! I almost always use 10% fragrance oil when working with 464 soy.
Thank you
Thank you for your comment and a warm welcome. 💛🌱
Great tips

Is it 185 for paraffin wax too?
In general, I would say so!
I’m doing all of that except I have been using ECO wicks. I’m using the correct wax to fragrance ratio but am still not getting the fragrance results I want. Help!!!
Soy can be really tricky and particular for sure! What container and wick size are you using? Also, what fragrance percentage?
Can you tell me about soy/coconut wax hot throw?
I’d say it really depends on your wax.
Which one are ya using?
