Barb_513 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Okay I have a few waxes that I have tested and I'm not planning to use in my containers. Is there any reason I can't just use them in the clamshells. I hate to waste the wax. But I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something. Thanks in advance for your help Thanks,Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentlady Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 You can use container waxes in clamshells but I would add a little pillar or beeswax. When I made clamshells with straight container wax they crumbled and frosted terrible. Now they look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 You will definitely need an additive of some sort to keep the finished product from being greasy and soft. From what I gather, alot of people that use the clamshells mix container wax with pillar/votive wax for a harder, cleaner finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 IMO if your not coloring your soy wax I'll be OK. I'm clearancing all my clamshells out on my site because they look HORRIBLE -frosted and a very few cracked (I used a blend of soy and beeswax). Oh another problem I had was the soy was discoloring the labels (I had them stored in a container, stack one on top of another.) So I'm hoping the solution of pouring with my veggie pillar/votive blend in the clamshells will work! HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
