Cindy/WI Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hey Ravens can you get them out of the clam shell's I just tried the apple cinnamon and had a heck of a time trying to getit out. The cold throw is awesome just put 2 cubes in my warmer so hoping the HT is as good as the CT is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 This is a wax I have yet to try so I'd be really interested in hearing about longevity you get with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy/WI Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 will update later for you I might try adding a little harder wax with it today, it was way to hard to get out of the clam shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hello, Cindy/WII use it in clamshells and the Solo portion cups and they pop right out. Perhaps you're pouring too hot? I noticed that if I poured too hot, it was a bit hard getting them out, and had to put them in the freezer for a minute or so. Try pouring cooler. Love that wax! Many, if not most, FOs will last for several days, non-stop (meaning I do not turn the warmer off at night.... me bad, but....lol) hth :smiley2:Hey Ravens can you get them out of the clam shell's I just tried the apple cinnamon and had a heck of a time trying to getit out.

ky-sam Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have no problem with them popping out of clamshells or portion cups. I have even mixed in softer container waxes with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've got my presto pot full of this wax right now, getting ready to have a little pour-fest I'm not sure what all scents I will be using, but I will be sure to update later!!

Ravens Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Well? What FOs did you use? Inquiring minds want to know, lolI've got my presto pot full of this wax right now, getting ready to have a little pour-fest I'm not sure what all scents I will be using, but I will be sure to update later!!

Cindy/WI Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 so far I've tested candy cane cookie and got about 15 hours and then I couldn't smell anything, That's turning burner on when I get home from work and leaving it on all night.Right now I'm testing Black Raspberry Vanilla just put it in. so will up date later. But all are very hard to get out of clam shell's.Ravens I will try pouring cooler next time and see if that helps me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sorry it's taken me so long to update, we had a death in the family Friday and it's been a little crazy. I was able to pour 1 scent in TCS wax, Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee. I poured 1 clamshell and crumbled the rest. It crumbled very well, great color, I poured at about 145* and it pops right out of the pkg, and has a beautifully nice smooth top. Great CT, and pretty good HT. As soon as I get the chance I'm going to play around a little more, and see how it takes to some Vybar. I'll update more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called the vybar rep and he said it's only for paraffin and not known to be good in soy or parasoy. Did you wait a week before melting to let it cure for a strong HT? What FO load did you use?

FaithfulScenter Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I used 10% FO, I did not wait a week to test, I was under the impression the it was an all paraffin wax, it doesn't say on the site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) I used 10% FO, I did not wait a week to test, I was under the impression the it was an all paraffin wax, it doesn't say on the site...Oh, I'm sorry, I got confused about which thread I was posting on, so I thought you were talking about tarts made with 6006 since I had just read another comment about that. You're right, TCS is not parasoy; I called the owner and asked her about that. Sometimes if your FO load is too high it can tie up the HT, so unless the FO you tested is just not a very strong thrower, I don't know why you're not getting a strong HT.

Ravens Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It is all paraffin (plus the additives), it contains no soy; throws beautifully for me. 1 to 1.3oz. pp is all you need. Let it cure at least 3 days. Some believe paraffin needs no curing; perhaps so, but in my experience a few days' cure never hurt; it always helped, so I continue to let my paraffins cure. GL! P.S. Are you positive you received the one for tarts/container/votives? I'm asking because their "new" container wax was a real dud for me! Hardly any HT, with or without curing. Grab a handful of the wax you received and squeeze it in your hand; if it feels sticky, a bit oily, you may have ended up with the dud. The "other" wax (the one I love) will not stick at all (warning: it's a PITA to wick!). I used 10% FO, I did not wait a week to test, I was under the impression the it was an all paraffin wax, it doesn't say on the site...

FaithfulScenter Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 http://www.thecandlesource.com/catalog/i1940.htmlThis is the wax I ordered, it is a little sticky, but not too terribly bad. I haven't really gotten the chance to test the melts I made, but hopefully things will settle down so I can get back to work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just wanted to update, this is my first day to really test. Poured the melts on Friday, so that's a 5 day cure. I put 1 oz of crumbles in my kitchen burner this morning, it is throwing well, and filling the whole house. If I can get some housework caught up today, I'll be pouring some more tomorrow. Hopefully I continue to have great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
