Karen Ov Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 So I was just wondering if I mixed 464 and a paraffin together would it be firm enough to get out of molds or clamshell molds? I know i can experiment, but I don't want to order paraffin (shipping is so expensive) unless it might work. Thanks💐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Karen of course it can work! Get a harder paraffin, and use with 464. You will have to work the percentages of each to get the scent throw but also the ease of opting out of container. There are many threads of combinations on craft server. Order some sample waxes and give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those types of blends are designed to shrink a little to remove from metal molds. 464 has additives to prevent it from shrinking so it maintains good jar adhesion, which is important for their base customers.

I will give that a try..I have a lot of 464 so I might as well try to make tart wax because I don't think I'm going to make candles with it anymore. I looked at the candles I made from 3 months ago and longer and I was very disappointed. They were dry looking, frosted and some had brown spots and these were the candles that came out just about perfect. My lovely soy has let me down I just have to admit it lol.. Thanks💐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks💐 You could order some 4625 and mix with it. Or maybe even get some tart wax from Flaming or Rustic. They have all paraffin and a para/soy blend that's granular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Add a bit of 4794 and they will pop right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
