Terrie Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I use my container wax for my clams. (Before anyone says anything about it, let me repeat I use my container wax **FOR MY CLAMS, NOT TARTS **) LOL I have never, ever had a problem with them, and the throw beats any votive wax I've ever used. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upped my ratio to 50/50 and man it was soft lol had to really press the bottom up to get it out but the throw was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never use votive or pillar wax for clams again. With my container wax, they look better, throw better, and are easier to pop out of the clam. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well I have to to a 50/50 of container and votive blend and see if they are easier to get out of the clamshell. I used straight container the last time and people said it was messy to get out although the throw was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it but it struck me as maybe good stuff for making tarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
