justajesuschick Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 What you do about sinking?Pour cooler? Heat gun? Blend a bit of something else with it? What sinking? (I am fine with you telling me that this is my issue and you have never experienced this)Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 4625 is going to sink. It's a pillar blend, and when making pillars we do a second pour. But, if I remember (which I could totally be wrong) you just do melts, right? Are you trying to use it alone in a mold or clamshell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thank you, and yes. Just playing with melts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) That's what I thought - yep, you're going to have to add something to it to clear that up. I mix 25% 4630 with 75% 4625 and don't have problems. hthETS: If my "just do melts" sounded offensive I apologize - I certainly didn't mean it that way but when I read it, yikes! Please don't take it wrong!! :embarasse Edited August 3, 2013 by ksranch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't take it wrong!! :embarasseHeavens, no! First, I almost say "I just do melts" in every post in which I contribute and I am truly one of the LEAST easy to offend people I know. I am whatever is the opposite of sensitive. I'd rather someone say, "No one on the planet has this problem, you are doing things completely wrong" than someone patting me on the head and letting me make silly choices as to not offend me. My husband just left today for a dirt biking trip (he heard "50" on his birthday but I swear he heard "15"!) and I took Monday and Tuesday off work. I am scheming and plotting a few days of of wax playing (because I really know how to party when left alone in the house! haha!).I planned to start with 10% 4630 and do a test batch with that same percentage of 4627. Sounds as if I will now repeat those batches but increase to 25% of the container wax. Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
