Both orders of mine where parasoy tart. 1st order was clear when melted 2nd was cloudy. If the parasoy is suppose to be cloudy maybe my 1st order was different. Testing a few tarts in the new order to see if I get the same results.

Added a bit of 464 today, no more dimples will test in a few days.

Bless you soy it looks wonderful but then again maybe 464 likes you.. it hate me:laugh2:

great test, looking forward to reading this thread. The 2nd day of your test was the scent just as strong as when you started. I'm starting to wonder if I'm just expecting too much from my tarts.. the first few hours they're run you out of the room scent almost the whole house, 8 hours later I'm not smelling them as strong, 48 hours later the scent is there, you can smell it when you enter the house or room but its no longer hit you in the face. Just re-read your post and saw that you said 4 days as strong as when you first burned them. Mine weakens but you can still smell it.. guess I'm not expecting too much. Back to more testing for me,lol

But I'm still wondering if overloading fo can have a negative result.The problem isnt with CT or HT its with lasting power. If we're putting in more fo than the wax can hold it looks like it could cause a problem, no? I'm just not sure in tarts what the problems could show up as.

than the last they sent me. Got it the other day and melted some last night. It's very cloudy when melted, the last I got wasn't. I've never melted wax before and had it look like this, is it normal for this wax?

Oh forgot to ask.. those that where waiting on ky wax.. I got my backorder of this wax 2 days ago and heated some to test last night. The first wax I got about a month ago looked different than this wax.. this new wax when heated is very cloudy, the last wasn't. SInce this is the 2nd time I've got this wax I'm not sure which is the norm, the clear or the cloudy.

Start testing this wax this morning most of my fo's are from bnc, bcs and ng. I'm a bit worried to hear it may stick to clamshells, makes me wonder how it will work for silicone molds since I use both. Going to try in a candle or 2 to see if I can wick better but I'm still hoping to get 464 worked out as my candle wax.

Glad it'll help

Sorry for the spelling must have been half asleep:cheesy2:

Good luck with your testing, mines suppose to be in sometime today. I plan on testing some tonight.

Just thought some might find this helpful if their like me and hate doing the math. I found this percentage calculator http://www.marshu.com/articles/calculate-percent-with-percentage-calculator.php

no I tried to get more out of her but that's all she'd give:lipsrseal

Glad to hear from someone that's used them. Does the same tarts scent that strong for a week?

Thats the size I used in the 8 oz sq mason. I thought it was going to drown out ealier but it didn't, it got weak for awhile then picked back up and seems to be doing really well again. I do notice it seems to throw scent much better for me than the other wicks I've tried. Its a nice slow even burn. I'm hopeful:cheesy2:

Just called them and the lady I spoke to said its a blend of different waxes with no soy at all.

Seems like almost everyone uses and loves the cd wicks with this wax, I don't know maybe I'm testing wrong or something I've tried them several times and they either drown out or are too large.

Interesting answers. Lots of good points, thx. I don't see any way around some words, like someone said vanilla is vanilla, but I can see where its better to make the description as much your own as you can.

well it was nice while it lasted wick is drowning out as I type this*sigh*

I got a shipping notice, suppose to be in tomorrow!

Trying a power burn today. I still think the wax is just roping me back in so I'll start testing again for its own evil amusement but maybe I'll get lucky

I tried almost all the cd wicks except the huge ones up to 14 I think but it was way to big the cd 8 - 12 wouldnt stay burning , also the lx wicks, same problem either too small or too big, c wicks ( think that was the name of it ) and a few more I cant remember off hand. Yeah it's the 8 oz square

I can almost hear its evil little laugh. For years I've been testing every wick I could get my hands on trying in vain to get a good burn with good throw with this wax in a sq mason jar and nothing has worked... I threw in the towel months ago and decided to be happy with tarts. This morning I was digging through my wick box and came across some zinc wicks samples I had ordered years ago and decided what the heck ...why not... found an old tester candle and threw a wick in it. so far this thing is burning perfect.. that might change tomorrow on the 3rd burn but right now I'm on the second burn and the throw is amazing the mp is wonderful, the flame is perfect.. I'm sure now that I put this into words the evil wax will once again act up, but for a brief moment I'm in candle heaven.

Maybe spraying with pam before pouring would help with that. If the throw is good enough it might be worth the extra time to spray each one. I'm chomping at the bit to try this wax.

Well shoot! I use clamshells.
