    Never Good Enough

    Thank you all for your suggestions! I guess the first 3 im going to try would be each straight and then 50/50 of 4625/4627

    Suzy, I have thought about palm but I have not researched it enough to be comfortable with trying it out..I do know that I prefer paraffin over soy anyday or a blend with only a tiny amount of soy

    This morning I ordered a sample slab of 4625 and one of 4794. Does anyone use these straight for their tarts? I have 25 lbs of 4627..a ton of KY 133 left and I think about 5 lbs of KY tart wax..I feel like i'll be the person that switches up waxes once a year unless I find the PERFECT one or combo.

    Looks like if im going to go out on a limb and try other waxes i'll have to give up the easiness..I've read the horror stories on busting slabs..but I plan on ordering a few samples from peaks and trying other paraffin waxes and see how I like those; just afraid I won't be satisfied because i've been working with this wax for so long!

    I have not tried another wax yet because I like the ease of use with KY granulated wax. If anyone knows of any other wax that is easy to use and may have better throw than KY I'd be willing to try it out! thanks!
  9. So I've been making and selling tarts for almost a year now! They are not what I would like them to be and my customers say they are alright. my customers say they last about 8 hours but are not strong the whole 8 hours..as in they are strong a few hours medium a few hours and finish off light. I use the KY 133 paraffin wax and use 1.5 oz per lb of wax. I use FO from NG, RE,CCS and others. I heat my wax to 180-185 add dye and FO and stir at least 2 mins or until the temp is around 175 then pour! I can never smell my tarts anyway thinking its the air flow and possibly my warmer since the bowl seems to leak..but idk what else to do to improve them..any suggestions?
