ScentedPleasurez Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Scanning around as i usually do i came across GOLDEN WAX MELT AND TART SOY WAX at candle science. Has anyone used this and if so what's your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptommo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Curious about this as well. I have some on the way after realizing the 415 wasn't the best for molds. I would like to know how it does versus the Ecosoya PB for tarts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 1 that I have not tried,I haven't even ordered yet.. I have great results with ky133 from re Ky133 gives good throw after a couple days. . I guess we all keep testing different ones,even though we already have a winner lol Ky133 molds great and easy release from my molds.

I've only bought pure soy so far because I keep reading about paraffin being bad because of the carcinogens it releases and I'm curious if that would extend to melts or if it's just something in the wick?

(sorry I'm new!) That's a big debate. Soy is just as chemically treated as any other wax. Most "studies" were actually paid by soy farmers or people who had their hands in soy money. So if people are told about said studies and converted over to soy they would make more money. I jumped on the soy bandwagon but wasn't there long. Studies never give full details either we only see what they want us to see. Then comes the wicks. Banning of lead wicks which @Belinda created a topic talking about as well as paraffin,because of one of her fb friends posts. The real culprit is the fo that's used and where the carcinogens come in at. It's a bunch of articles online to support what I've said. It's also several links in Belindas topic. If wax is bad for a candle then it would be bad for a melt. Paraffin is not bad though. Don't apologize for being nee,we all were at some point 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScentedPleasurez Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 RE has a para soy tart and votive blend that's supposed to be great. I have it but haven't gotten around to testing it yet. You will come up with your own little tips and tricks one day if you stick with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume, if I thought this than a lot of customers of mine will too. Maybe I'll use a blend but for now I have the 415 still to use but I did grab some of the 444 and beeswax as well as some stearic acid just to play around and see what I can do. I have too much of the 415 left to waste. I do however have the GW for wax and tarts on the way to me too. I'm not sure I'm quite experienced enough to weigh in on the differences but I can tell you if it works in some of my 3d molds that the 415 was too soft for!

Some are interested in knowing and some don't care lol. All they go by is what smells good to them. You could always use the softer wax in a portion cup and call it scoopable. Please follow up and let me know how the new wax does for you👍😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptommo Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Well I can tell you first that I did not need as much dye for this wax for some reason, so they turned out much darker than anticipated which is not a horrible thing. They pulled right from my silicone molds so fast it's like I blinked and they were hard. I did wait a good 6 hours before attempting anything to be sure. The 415 had to sit overnight before I could even consider it. I only did a small batch to test but here's my hazelnut test! I'm going to do some more testing today but so far so good, these were a snap to remove. The real test comes today with the 3D bear molds I have! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like dark chocolate fudge treats that can be eaten lol. You might get into some serious trouble if they smell as good as they look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are placed on a plate I swear someone will try to eat one 😅😅 one reason I put "do not consume" on products. There will always be at least 1 that will try😂😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have 3 of them though. I have a kitty cat 3D too but even with this wax, his ears don't come out with the rest. The reviews on the mold were really mixed so I don't think it's the wax now. Everything else has come right out so far! I'll definitely report back after it cures and I melt him down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aptommo Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just checking in, I melted my first run with this wax. It was using 12% FO in Sugar Cookie from thecandlesource and although I wasn't feeling confident since the CT wasn't overwhelming, I can say that the HT lit up my room nicely and lasted about 30 hours for one of the large fancy hearts. I left it go until all I smelled was wax. I've been testing the Ecosoya PB along with it to see which I like better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
