Galenr3393 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm looking into making wax melts with using just ky 133 versatile paraffin wax blend no other wax or anything added to it!...I just tried a few and didn't get the scent throw I was expecting..I added fragrance at 185 and poured around 170...can anyone tell me if the have used this wax at all and what they thought about it...any tips? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I just started testing with this wax. So far I poured 3 tarts in fragrances that I know are good throwers. It doesn't have the initial burst of strong fragrance that some waxes do as the wax achieves a full melt pool, but the melts are really lasting a super long time. I have one in my 25 watt melter right now that has been on since yesterday afternoon and I can still smell it. That's at 9% FO load. I'm thinking I might add a bit of Igi 4630 to this as it is very hard, and maybe that will help with the initial throw. Like @Belinda has said, everyone has different preferences, and you may have to experiment to find what you like. I have also had very good results with The Candlemakers Store's tart wax blend, if you're looking to try another pellet-type pre blended wax.

Belinda Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 @Sarah S, the Candlemaker's Store has a pellet form of tart wax? I've never noticed that on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
