ozzie Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I've made hundreds of melts and never had any negative issues using Parasoy 600 Problend. But the wax didn't harden in my last two batches. Should I have left them open longer ...admittedly, I closed the lids and stacked them sooner than normal, but I've done that before and I didn't have any trouble with wax sticking to the molds.

KrisS Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don't use Parasoy, but I've never experience a wax melt not hardening because I closed a lid too quickly--it's temperature dependent. Was this a new batch of wax perhaps? Is there any way, you could have grabbed a wrong box? (If you're like me, you have dozens of sample boxes.)

kandlekrazy Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 maybe just another change in a new box/lot of wax. Try a batch and leave lids open longer just to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi there The Wax you are working with is very soft. I can’t believe you make melts with it. Yes, a new box may be different from your other lots. You will have add some harder wax to it, so it performs like you are used to. Also maybe you added too much fragrance oil and softened the wax too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax Addict Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hey Ozzie, I have been working with Pro 600 and Pro 650 and like NightLight mentioned, Pro 600 is a bit to soft if used alone for wax melts. I know you've made hundreds, but are you sure it wasn't with Pro 650? Pro 650 is specifically for votives and melts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I agree with Wax Addict. I've been using para/soy or all paraffin votive or pillar wax for years making tarts and I've never had that happen either. Maybe you accidentally used the wrong wax? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but you are both correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
