Juggy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I currently use my own parasoy blend for wax melts that includes 4 oz pp of 4794. I have a supplier (65 miles away) who does not have 4794 but states their 4761 is about the same. Does anyone know if that would a big difference in my formula? I have been reading all of the posts and topics on the 2 waxes but can't find anything specific for only 4 ozs in a blend. Any opinions/input would be greatly appreciated.

Jcandleattic Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 4761 from my experience is not the same as 4794. When I tested it, I could not get it to throw very well, it was hard to melt, set up way too fast, and gave jump lines if I didn't pour at over 200°. I quickly dismissed this wax as something I didn't want to use. However, that was probably 8 or so years ago, and maybe the formula has changed? IDK, but that was my experience with it then. Maybe get a sample and do some tests to see if it will work in your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joym Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 4761 has a melt point of close to 160. Tho I've never used it, I'm guessing the mp is much too high to use for melts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggy Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Jcandleattic and joym, thanks so much for your responses. I think I will just continue with the 4794 and shipping charges. I can still get my other waxes and pick them up and it sounds like a wax I do not want to play with. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
