kimmeroo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) someone gave me a good size chunk for my melter and it looks like fudge! It is thick and marbeled with other pieces of scented wax in it. Is it as easy as pouring wax into an 8x8 container(reusable tin) then swirl and add other pieces..or do you have to whip the wax? I haven't played around but plan to..just wanted to get some of your tricks of the trade..lol TY.Kim:smiley2: Edited November 16, 2012 by kimmeroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I have made some chunks, I've never added other wax to it, but I whip mine. They kind of look like little hunks of cookies, or well, like you said, fudge!! I don't do them very often, just when I'm playing, but I think they look so cute and rustic!

se2653 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Ok, please excuse the silly question, but you whip the wax- I'm assuming that is when it is warm, still liquid, right? (sorry, I'm still a newbie at this stuff!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country bee Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 well,It is at the start of the gel stage,I don't know if pure soy will whip,I use a blended wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

country bee Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I did something close to that a few years ago but added a spoon full of whip cream type on top.I do the grubby cookies with caramel chips and choc drizzle.those are fun to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulberrysoap Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have seen a company in the us make the cutest wax chunks, they say that they are the original company doing so. I think you pour the wax in a low wide dish and add the chunks and when hard use a pizza or knife to cut into chunks, am I missing anything??

kimmeroo Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 I did try it..I didn't whip my wax though..I used a jelly roll pan I bought just for this project and made Serendipity. Let set..cut into the size chunks I wanted. Then I poured cooled wax with Ice Cream Scoop Bread over it using a disposable baking deep dish tin. Let set overnight..took out of the tin...scored it and cut..but..it crumbled and didn't stay together like it should. I could use some help as to what to add to the wax. I am using C3. TIA!

mulberrysoap Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I hope someone can help. I only have 6006 and some soy wax here, I am going to place an order with peaks for different waxes and when it arrives I will put my thoughts to the test. I would love to be able to make them, they are just too cute! LolWith whipping wax, I think that works well for making biscuit melts and for topping. Maybe if you pour the wax in the dish then drop the wax chunks in it will sink to the bottom and then add some more to top up and have them stick out.Not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got some 4627..so next time I try the chunx I will add a little to see. Thanks for the reply..

joym Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I used to do chunk style "muffin melts" - made chunks with IGI 4786, put chunks in mini muffin pan, and then overpoured with either 4794 or 1343. ---- Perhaps could use square "brownie bite" pans - with any combination of waxes that are hard enough to hold shape when removed from the pan??????

Thanks for the reply..It will be great to see pics, I will take some of mine when I get the waxes sorted.Joym, thanks for your input. I wonder if it is possible to use the same chunk wax for the overpour also? Is there a reason why 2 different waxes are used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joym Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yes, you can use the same wax for the overpour, as long as it is hard enough to release from the "mold" - 4786 will work. Don't remember why I used a different one, think it might have just been a way of using up what was left in the pot from my 1343 pours. Sorry, it was something I did several years ago, and no pictures available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it was something I did several years ago, and no pictures available.The C3 released great it's just when I cut the chunks it started to crumble from the inside.. 4786..I will have to get some wax samples) I want to make molded melts but the C3 frosts in the silicone mold bad..I prefer the hard paraffin wax anyways so i will be playing for a while.Going on vacay for a couple weeks first..then test..test..test!

country bee Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 My chunks ,I do whip and pour add what ever I like on top and cut before the wax gets hard,not to soft though or the cuts will mend its self.Wait til it is cool ,remove from pan and Some times some chunks still stick together but breaks apart very easy.Does that help?

I just started so I haven't gotten very far with it yet. I am out of wax and will be gone for a bit so when I get back..test..test..test i shall do! Thanks again!

funkymonkey66 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Why not try a 50/50 para soy tart wax and add a 40% container wax to the chunks to avoid losing them when you cut. Whip the overpour, the straight 50/50 maybe a smidge of container for smoothness/ fudge effect and cut the finished pan when it still on the soft side. I tried it and it's a cool look, it reminds me of those white candies with the jelly cut outs in them. Really pretty. I cut with a pizza cutter, never fails me no matter what tart wax I cut (at the soft stage that is)You can get really great waxes at Wellington to play with, it's the same parasoy stuff KY had. The have 1 container and 1 soy. That's what I did mine with and it was perfect. Edited January 30, 2013 by funkymonkey66 add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulberrysoap Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Still planning on doing this,I got a selection of waxes from peaks and sadly bought too little, just testing with clamshells it has all gone, will have to order a larger amount to test.

I have been trying to get this scoopable wax thing perfected. I am pleased with what I have accomplished so far..now I am wanting to pipe it and have no clue how...trial and error..so that will be put on hold as well. Good luck with it Mullberry!
