bakers, have you redesigned your 'voltage' recipe for the cubes yet?............. :D

Apologies for being slow to respond.  I remelted the remaining wax and duplicated the essential oils and amounts that I put in the first time.  I did get a better "throw".  You can at least smell it when you walk into the room.  If I do this again, I think I will experiment with some brighter scents, like orange or citrus or just cinnamon.  The evergreen forest combination I did is kind of dark, for lack of a better word.

I noticed my winter coat had picked up the scent.  I had left it near by during a melting session.   ;D

Because it is a typical Kansas winter day( grey, cold, and everything brown) I thought I would try a little more experimentation on this subject.
I bought a pillar candle at the thrift store and melted it down.  I then added some essential oils to see what I come up with.  The paraffin is cooling in ice cube trays now.
I think those darned thrift stores know that people just buy those used candles to melt down and reuse.  It probably would have been cheaper to go buy paraffin.
