mizbizzyb Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Would anyone mind PM'ing me instructions on how to make tarts/melts? Just enough info to get me started, I don't necessarily need your secret recipe. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Most any votive/pillar wax just like you'd use for candles. Some spray Pam lightly, some don't. Pour into a tart/candy mold. Not much too it. Try out a few things, see what ya like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliette Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I use tart molds I got at a kitchen supply store and use about a 80/20 blend of pillar and container wax. HTH Juliette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It's very simple. I pour at about 165 into tart molds and let cool completely. They sometimes have a little trouble popping out on their own, so I just stick in the fridge for about 10 minutes. That's all there is to it.

tlc26 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 sorry to hijack but why is it that ya'll use 80/20 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I use 80/20 too, lol.I decided to do it because I couldn't really stand the little ripples I got with just a votive wax, and wanted to try to give it a little better throw, if possible.

butterfly Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Another reason I use 80/20 is if I use a mold that is detailed the wax mixture helps it to show the details better. EX: butterfly, cameo mold,etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy_Light Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Thanks for posting this I wasn't sure if there was a technique anyone used to make their tarts. I've been trying my hand at tarts for about a week now and love them just am looking for a way to be more creative with them. If I figure anything out I'll be sure to share.HUGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_1 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I use 75% pillar wax & 25 % container wax with typically 1 oz. fo per lb. Regular fluted tart molds. Some fragrances I use a bit less if they are really strong scents Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I use EL container but have to use a rubber mold, other molds and the wax won't come out. They are a little soft but they work great and cause of the low melt point you can smell it faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
