tarts/melts

[Lightning Bug]

Do you that make tarts, use staight soy or do you use pillar or some other kind of wax?. Do you get different throws from the wax in candle form vs. tarts? Also, do you call them tarts or melts? TIA. Beth

I use both soy container and soy votive waxes in my clamshells. They pop out very easily and last a long time with great scent throw

I use a combination of 2/3 KY all natural pillar/votive to 1/3 KY 125 soy/cottonseed blend. I can mold this or pour it into foils, the tops are creamy and smooth, it takes color well and the hot and cold throw is great. I call them melts.

I use soy pillar blend.I call them tarts.

I am tryng a new wax (444) and if it works will use that because the tops are Smooth with that wax.Just waiting how good the hot throw is.

I have a mix I stumbled upon that is working great for tarts -

3 oz. paraffin

3 oz. Joy wax

10 oz. container soy wax (I have used several with good results - C1, Ecosoya, C3 - that has some stearic - some generic whatever from Michael's)

Consistently creamy looking, easy to color, and no frosting to date. No problems releasing tarts from molds. Do have to usually top them off with a repour, as there's a bit of a sink in the middle - or hit them with the heat gun - and am experimenting with a cooler pour.

I use a soy pillar wax, and the metal tart/floater molds. Them babies pop right out. I call them tarts, and most of them you can smell through 2 layers of plastic. (I individually wrap them in saran, then put them in a ziploc)

I use 100% soy wax flakes with a little beeswax. Because I have noticed if I don't use the beeswax, my soy tarts flake. And I call them Tarts, I put them in a small clear cello bag, and tie them with a ribbon. They look perty.

I use palm pillar wax & can pop them out way before there even completely hardened. The scent throw on them is excellent & easy clean up to boot!

I believe the word tart is trademarked.

We have a pure soy that is perfect for tarts. It is the LP416. and has a melt point of 135. It is a pure soy so it is best to pour at a low temp. This wax will not flake and will pop right out of the molds. You can get it at either Aztec International (1-865-588-5357) or call Kris at gateway at 1-877-220-1963.

We also have a new blend, GW474, which is great for tarts and votives. It is a blend so it can be poured around 160. You can get a sample of this at gateway or makes Scents Candles.

Hope this helps,

Your right Yan### has the trademark for that word so I went with "scented wax melts". HTH Cindy/WI

I believe the word tart is trademarked.

I had no clue, that the terds had tarts trademarked. How the heck can they do that, like example they use Honeydew Melon right, I bet that is trademarked to, but that is the word for that, they didn't come up with it by themselves, somebody else did years ago. I guess I'm going to have to brush up on my trademark info.

Thanks for the heads up,

Mindy :rolleyes2
