goosebay_1999 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Does anyone use this PB for their clamshells? I have 30 lbs left and hate it for votives and pillars. I have a votive I am melting in my tart melter made from this was and the throw seems good. Just wanted to here from anyone that uses this wax for clams.Thanks!

iammommytwo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi Deb :wave:,I've been using it for almost a year....for my tarts, and just started doing votives. What's up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosebay_1999 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 How are the votives coming with the wicks? I am making clams and was hoping to use all of the PB for them since I cannot get a good throw with a votive with this wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I have got it down to using an LX 12. I know that you have to have them in a fairly snug votive holder-- I got a flowerpot one to try, and it worked pretty good. I got almost 12hrs out of it--of course, I power burn . The problem I occaisionally have is that the wax doesn't always release from the bottom part of the votive pin. I m trying putting them in the freezer for a few minutes. I got 7 out of 10 to release "whole" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I use it but I mix in a little continer wax to soften it up a bit. I love it for my tarts they are strong and last a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candelecandlecompany Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I used to have the same release problem but I started using a little release wax and it seems to work great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
