doglvr Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I followed a lengthy thread on how good 4625 (75%) and 4630 (25%) is for making long lasting strong tarts. I made that this morning in several scents. I poured into soufflé cups instead of clams, but talk about sinkholes. I have perfect looking little "tornadoes" in there! This would most definitely require a repour, which I hate doing. No doubt it would be great in molds and maybe a clam, but the cups... not so good. Did I maybe pour too hot? Wax was probably 175 when I finished stirring. Would pouring cooler help this or is this combo just going to do that? Would adding more 4630 help eliminate a repour? Anyone know?TIA!JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pita4294 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I do a 50/50 of it and always nice and smooth in clams. In the little 1 oz oval cups there's always a little sink hole though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I use that blend, in that ratio, but my melts are much smaller so I don't have to fight the sinking. I would up the % of 4630 and pour cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I used 4625/4630 for about a year. I always blended 50/50. I just changed my blend but would go back to that blend any day. I pour into cups and have not gotten sinking. I will not do a second pour so if I had experienced that issue, I'd sure remember it. I pour as soon as I am done stirring so still very warm. I pour into 2 oz. oval Ellipso brand cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'll try pouring it cooler if I make it again - depends when testing starts. I know the pour temp matters when making candles, but when you are doing tarts, does that still apply? Does the pouring temp effect the strength of scent or the throw?Thanks!

megandgarr Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I also use this blend in a 50/50 ratio and have never had sinkholes. I pour into portion cups immediately after stirring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 sorry, I forgot to add that in my experience the temp at which you pour does not affect the throw in tarts/melts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
