Cathydiamond Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hello , Having difficulty deciding on waxes for wax melts. Love 4786 for my wax melts .Does anyone use it? I just find scent doesn't last long and find it doesn't accept all oils. When I use Para Soy the scent seems to last longer and stronger with some. Any advise would be grateful! .

I"ve used both and like both of them but haven't really tested them to the extent I should. I really like 4786 for candles though. I think it has a great throw and I love the hardness of it in a container. I also think it would hold up better in heat which is what we have a lot of down here in Texas. I have some candles poured in 4630 though and might test it against 4786. As far as Problend, I like that wax too. I love the way it smells out of the bag. I mix it with some more paraffin to smooth it out though. I can't stand the ripples it gets. I think the cold throw on it is much better than all paraffin. I have been on the fence about all of this for almost 9 years now and all I can say is I think the oils makes the biggest difference but I could be very wrong. There are vendors who do very well with a para/soy blend, all paraffin or all soy. I think the majority of wax melt makers use para/soy though. I guess I really need to take better notes on my testing LOL! I bought some wax from two different vendors recently and one was a para/soy blend and the other is all paraffin plus I had some I had made with birthday cake and a blend of pro blend and some more paraffin (I'm thinking 4625 or 4794). All were birthday cake scent. They all smelled like a similar birthday cake oil was used but I have no way of knowing if that's the case. Anyway, I thought one was throwing better than the other but on the second testing it didn't seem that way so who knows. I'm going to send some to a wax friend and see if she can tell. I honestly don't think the difference will be enough to make a call one way or the other though. I think as long as you use good oils and your methods are consistent that you'll have a great throwing max melt. I just wish I could make up my mind on which wax I want to stick with myself LOL!
