karinz40 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I made some tarts yesterday out of 4327 the sticky stuff hoping to get tarts with a great smell.Today I was going to burn one of them but they are all still sticky wax . The Ct is very good. I was going to try one in my candle warmer.Is this not agood wax for tarts????? I chose it because of the review about good scent throw.Did I miss read something somehere? I added a little color and FO 1 oz to 8 oz....I know thats a lot but I love the scentAny help is appreciated.thanksKaren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 What wax did you mix with it? It is a superb wax for melts, but not alone. Girl, I am heavy handed with the FO but you even beat me! You will want to use less FO and mix a nice pillar or votive wax and you will be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karinz40 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 ok I just melted the sticky tarts 6.45 oz is what I had left, put a little in the candle warmer, anywhay , someone gave me some 2645 so I put 4 oz of that together with the 6.45 of 4627...Added 1/2 ozof the same scent and poured just now.What will I end up with? A monster?Had no idea you needed to mix with that one. Gues I did'nt read well enough.What does a normal person mix with 4627 to get nice smelling tarts?

If it happens to be 4625 you have a VERY good thing. I can hardly be considered a normal person but I would mix 4625 or 4794 with 4627 to get a great melt.

justajesuschick Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I should have added that I would mix them 50%/50% or even a touch more of the pillar/votive wax if you are making individual shaped melts and do not want to smudge polypro bags.

karinz40 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 It is 4625, I only have a small amount purchased from a member here selling some 464 in the phx area.I'll see how this turns out. am maybe buy some of it.I also made some 6 oz mixing 464 and 415 in tins and 4 oz jars. The tops already look EXTREMELY bad. Guess that was not a good mix. i just want to find a receipe to make some nice candles in 8 oz jars and tarts, I read about the 415 and though tht would work, only bought sample bags so working thin till I find the right mix.My idea was 415and 4627 for the great throw. I have some curing now so we'll see.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 For candles, its probably best not to mix 2 soy waxes together....try a 70/30 blend of 415 and 4627 and allow for cure time. When making tarts, try a 50/50 blend of 4625 and 4627 and at 10% fo should be plenty for a great throwing melt...hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karinz40 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Great Thanks I'll try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Are you pouring the tarts in molds or in portion cups/clamshells? I make tarts only (no candles) and I use a 50/50 blend of 4625/4630, but I have made a couple of batches using the 4627 in place of the 4630. Because the 4627 is so sticky and soft, and considering the heat here in the Phx area, you probably should not use much more than 50% of that wax. When I tried using a 50/50 blend of 4625/4627, the tarts did hold up but they were tacky, which I didnt care for even though they are for personal use only. I am not sure if you looking to use soy, but if not and If you decide that the 4627 is too sticky for your taste, I would personally suggest trying out the 4630. That combo makes a great tart (in my opinion). I too load them up with about a 10-11% FO load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karinz40 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I bought some little 2.5 oz metal cups at walmart and used those for the 4627 tarts. And wondered why they would not come out of the tin after refrigerated. I to am in the Phx area, Scottsdale. I woll get some 4630 and try it. Don't have clamshells and the small shot cups were not available at walmart so maybe I will find something else. I've got to say I thought Soy was the way to go on candles but I'm liking this parrfin stuff...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karinz40 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Why not mix 4625 and 4630 to make tarts instead of 4627 and one of them. There are so many choices.... Is it because of the scent throw?ThanksKAren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some make container candles with one or the other so to multipurpose one also for melts makes good business sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karinz40 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 That what I weant is the best scent throw for candles and am still on the fence for tarts.Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 That what I weant is the best scent throw for candles and am still on the fence for tarts.Thanks for the helpI think you might like the blend since you've already thought about using it. For tarts, scent detection is so subjective but there have been some good combos listed in the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
