  1. I also read somewhere about getting a fan that it may be cooling to quick and that’s maybe why it’s uneven? And someone said use coconut oil. Another said heat gun or hair dryer to melt the top again. Another said do two layers. Are any of these good ideas?
  2. I’m going to order that wax tomorrow and I’ll try your pouring temp and your heating temp and see how that works and I’ll try with the wax I have her idea and see if I can figure something out. Thanks so much for all of your help. I’ll let you know if it works or doesn’t work if it doesn’t maybe you have some more advice. And do you use a double boiler?
  3. That makes sense I didn’t even think of that.
  4. I didn’t even know I was supposed to stir for a certain amount of time I’ve just been stirring till the color blends in
  5. I might not be stirring long enough. And what’s the melt point mean sorry I’m super new. So when you do it what temp do you let it get up to and what temp do you pour it at?
  6. So I should pour at 100? And what do you mean pour pot on a fan? I’ve read fans can help I’m not sure what one to get. People also said to layer the wax in two layers which doesn’t seem to be working. And what wax do you use? And is it creamy I also heard to use coconut oil.
  7. I’ll try curing them I didn’t know I was supposed to. Any particular place I should buy color could that be effecting it also? I’ve noticed I get like white in my wax melts sometimes too. And you mix those two waxes together? And you’ve also used the 6006 by it’s self and it worked ok?
  8. What do you mean cure? And are these the ones you were talking about mixing. And I’ve been using candle science and just scent.
  9. Are all the brands ok to buy from? Or is one better than the other? And do you know any good places to get good scents all the ones I’ve tried aren’t strong at all.
  10. Are yours creamy? That’s what I’m searching for is creamy and easily to come out of the containers. Where do you get your wax and paraffin?
  11. I haven’t really took stirring into consideration so I’m actually not sure how long I stir. And I pour at like 125-130 I’ve tried 160 I’ve tried 110-115 I’ve had the same issues with all of them. And it takes like 10 -15 mins to cool
  12. I’ll have to try using paraffin. I’ve tried playing around with the pouring temps I’m pretty much out of options. I read online someone suggested a fan.
  13. Oh yeah I melt the wax then once it’s 175-180 I put in the fo and color.
  14. What does fo mean? Sorry I’m new to this wax melt making thing.
  15. I was thinking of trying a different soy wax. But as of right now I’m using this.
