What kind of wax is this?

[MomD]

Hello. I hope I am asking this in the right part of the forums.

Could someone tell me what kind of wax I would need to purchase to be able to make these chips that are used in the warmers?

I purchased these while on vacation and would love to start making these myself, but not sure where to purchase this kind of wax or where to find the molds.

They smell wonderful and the pkg. said they were triple scented.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. MomD

Hello, those are tarts-melts. To make them I use the standard wax I use for all my candles (I use a mix of paraffin and stearine, but I'm in italy so if you want names someone else will help).

Triple scented is a myth, anyway if you want them higly scented, use FO at a minimum of 6% but every wax has its FO load.

many peolpe here use different types of wax, so you will read different opinions.

Mine throws very strong. You can use a mold for muffins, or other shapes to make biscuits, soap and tarts.

Thanks Sabrina.

I will buy regular paraffin and hunt the stearine.

You're welcome.

Try to do a search using the menu of the board, search for "tarts" you will find a lot of interesting information.

many folks here use also vegetable wax to do tarts.

HTH and have fun

I used one of those in my first candle!

I use a votive wax for my tarts. Make sure you buy good FO, dont use that stuff they sell at craft stores. Peaks has really great products. They also sell kits which are great as they have everything you need. Tarts are a great candle to start with.

I use a pre blended votive wax. All the right chemicals are in it already, you just melt, add FO and pour.

I use astro v for tarts and votives, all I have to do is color and scent then pour

I use 4794 for both my melts and votives. HTH

I have been using Palm 2 wax for my tarts and votives but just recently switched to Astrolite Q...love it!!!

I use a blended parrafin for my votives and tarts so all I have to add is FO and dye.
