I took your class at San Mateo College and ...Hello! I took your class at San Mateo College and I have been having the worst time with my hot throw. I remember I asked for your email and advised I could contact you here. However, I cannot find an email address. Can you email me at vannie.pham@gmail.com? <br /><br />I did as you advise and heated the candle up to 170-180, added scent, poured at around 135 yet I do not have a good throw, or a throw at all. I have upped the fragrance to 12% yet I still cannot smell anything when it's burning. It has an excellent cold throw, but no hot throw. I have been using the Golden Brands 464 Soft Wax, and the fragrance oil from Mill Creek. I find my pot has to be boiling however to make it to 180 degrees! So I tried putting it on low medium, or medium heat as you've done in your class as I remember you advising never to put it on high. I tried that, and still no hot throw. I am conflicted because I've already made 60 candles and non have a hot throw. What can I do? I'm very frustrated as I've put in a lot of money trying to get it right but nothing is working. I use a double boiler as you had in your classroom and put the candy thermometer in the candle. I have even attempted to measure the heat by measuring the water with the thermometer. I thought it was my thermometer and ended up buying multiple. However, I tested it as well and find it's gauging temperature just fine. I really don't understand. I'm overly frustrated. Can you help me?vanniespamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617016313375317521noreply@blogger.com
