Some go for $10-100 each. Then some other molds called Nordicware I think lol they want $90-150 each for them.

Then I also have the waffle and mini waffle and I purchased 2 mini tart pans at am. Don't get the wilting ones in with the candy melts and things. They were 10 bucks. I got the ones from the bake section for u bucks. Same pan. And I got several cookie sheet pans from dollar tree to make my chunks. The wax plops right out once cooled. Haven't had issues with anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great deals. Some aren't. They do ship and take PayPal. Haven't got any bad deals. FB Marketplace too is good. Some have met local and some I get shipped. I don't have a store so I can get what is available that I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of pan? Cookie sheets from dollar tree is what I'm using. The regular baking ones. Not the aluminum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedPleasurez Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Pour in a pan and break up for wax brittle. Pour into a pan a bit thicker and cut into chunks. If U look at home depot or Lowes they have a super long sparkling knife that goes across the entire pan for around 9$ Edited November 1, 2018 by ScentedPleasurez Phone said I I said U 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to shop now and avoid shipping and if you live near a Michael's or JoAnn's they have candy, soap and baking molds on sale regularly. Molds range from $1.50 - $12 or so and you have the option to shop online and then go pick them up for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireside Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 New year, new adventures with wax testing! Trappeur was so kind as to start a thread in the candlemaking section titled "Taking a poll on the best "proven" best throwing wax". I thought maybe we could update / add to this thread for the wickless / melts aspect. I am stuck between CW 141 and 129. The 141 is creamier but slightly dimples and may have a hard time achieving its best throw on some warmers due to its higher MP (as I started in a separate topic) whereas the 129 takes color easier as it is more transparent and has a lower MP...but may not last as long or be as forgiving on oils that 141 is. Has anyone else debated between these two by chance? I like CW over IGI as they seem more consistent usually. Having said that, the recent thread on 129 in the clamshells that looks and performs totally different has me a little put back in my statement. Will continue to battle these two out. Really do not like blending waxes which to me is just additives overload and extra work if one is superb on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else debated between these two by chance? I like CW due to prices, free shipping on their blends, and they carry some of my soap ingredients. Having said that, I still would purchase IGI wax from somewhere else to have a quality, consistent wax.

Sarah S Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 @Fireside, it has been a while since I've used the 129, but I like both of those waxes. I can't remember if there was something about the performance of the 129 that I didn't like, but it certainly was not a bad tart wax. Very easy to use, nice smooth finish. I didn't like the slight translucency of the wax, so I mostly use 141 for paraffin melts. I love to mix the 141 with just a bit of 125 for single-serving little melt cups that look so creamy and wonderful. I've already waxed on (haha!) about the awesomeness of CW's waxes in other threads, so I'll just say that I think if you test the 141 against the 129, and test the two of them against the IGI waxes, you'll find there is not a massive difference. CW is a convenient supplier for me, and I like the performance of their blends. If I lived on the West Coast, it might be a different story, and perhaps the IGI waxes would be a better choice. At the end of the day, I think you have to consider price, convenience, and performance, weigh each in accordance with your personal preference, and use whatever ranks highest in those factors. The only "best wax" is the one that you love to use! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
