Are you talking about Indiana Candle Supply? I have thought about ordering from them, but haven't yet.

My guess is to try another scent first. Also, she is getting 14hr from a 1.4oz piece of wax. So you need to make sure if you're testing to achieve that it needs to be the same. I do think a wax blend is going to be stronger than using anything straight from the box ALONE. I think the pillar blend waxes need some container wax mixed. That's my next experiment. I am waiting on my order to get here this week. I am testing 0.5oz and approx 1oz pieces of wax when I burn. There are too many variables you could actually factor in: what kind of burner you are using, how many watts it is, etc. (and MUCH more).

Actually I just realized what I tested was my 0.9oz tart. So, that means I have some work to do. I'd only be getting about 4.5hr.

Thanks for your replies! I am getting about 3hrs on my 0.5oz cube. So that's not too bad for starting out. That would equal close to 8-9hr if mine was 1.5oz. Hoping I create a longer lasting melt when I get my new waxes.

how many ounces are the cups that you use?

Curious how many hours you all are getting out of a wax melt cube from a standard clamshell or from a tart for those you who use the fluted tart molds? I'm only using a soy pillar blend at the moment, but have a shipment on the way so that I can experiment with different blends hoping to achieve a stronger, lasting melt. * So - what is your lifeline on your scents before they die? =) Please & Thanks in Advance!

Maybe someone who mixes it can answer. I've never mixed my PB with anything. I thought you were saying you were making them with only 464 - which of course is not a good idea.
-
First of all, 464 should not be used for tarts or clamshells. That's the problem. It's too soft. There are waxes you can buy that are formulated specifically for tarts/clamshells. You need a pillar blend. GB makes one.
