Title: Hi Post by: Curlywurly on October 17, 2010, 08:07:31 PM Have been lurking for a few weeks now so thought i better sign up and say hello.
I've decided to start making a few candles and soaps mainly for myself and for Christmas presents. We'll haveto see how i get on as to whether i take it any further. So be prepared for some idiotic questions over the next few weeks Title: Re: Hi Post by: Suzanne on October 17, 2010, 08:10:59 PM Hello and welcome. You will have a lot of fun here. No question is stupid so ask away.

Do we call you Curly?? Yes i'm a Curly Title: Re: Hi Post by: Curlywurly on October 21, 2010, 05:37:00 PM ah thanks for the welcome. to answer some of the questions i have made two batches of soy wax tarts so far. my first batch turned out perfect, though i only used 6% FO and so the scent was not as strong as i tend to like it.
I have made a second batch with a different scent and used 11% (i know it's a little bit too much however there was no point leaving 2 ml in the bottle as it was a designer type FO), anyhow the second batch appear to have a white bloom which from reading I am not sure it is caused by anything in particular, or is avoidable unless I do a soy/parrafin blend? Title: Re: Hi Post by: PurplePrincess on October 21, 2010, 10:46:38 PM Hi Curly,
I'm new here too, I spend soooo much time reading topics & learning a whole lot more than I did before. The bloom on your melts could well be due to the higher amount of F.O in them, soy can be very temperamental, especially when the weather is cold, you could try melting them down gently & repouring see if that makes any difference.
