sow wax melts

Recommended Posts

I am a former soy candle maker,  just have not done it in a few years. I am getting ready to start making soy wax melts. I made them previously as well.  Just need a starting point as to what melts in a warmer with a 25watt bulb (like a scentsy burner,  I will eventually have my own burners to offer,  just curious on the store bought warmers and if they actually melt the soy wax)  I am toying with the idea of using this type of wax. AAK (formerly Golden Brands) Soy Tart & Melt Wax also known as 494 wax. I know when I previously made them, I used straight soy and unless I was using a tealight to melt wax, bulbs weren't  hot enough to give complete melt pool and scent throw was pretty much nothing ( not due to strength of oils) I used most oils from ky candle supply at the time and blue grass so all oils were awesome.

Do you find that the 464 is to soft for molds and shapes?. I would like to make some in molds but not to sure if it works.  

464 only works for shot cups It wont work in clamshells either it's to soft of a wax

I use GB 464 for all my tarts. If I add to much FO is the only time I have a problem of it not releasing from the cup I use.
