izzy2 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Does anyone here blend wax to come up with a wax they like? I've seen several posts where people say they use a blend of two kinds of waxes and was curious to know what people use and how they came up with their blend.

Fern Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I blend two waxes for my tarts. J223 (container wax) and 6228 (preblend pillar wax with great scent throw). I got this idea from another board member (Kimberly) who had sent me a sample tart so that I could smell for myself. She actually used J50...not the J223...but since J50 and J223 are very similar and I already had it, along with the 6228, I decided to use it...and with great results. Before I was using veggie waxes and straight pillar waxes for my tarts and they sucked big time...very little scent throw...but these tarts kick ass. As for my containers, I use straight J223 and for my pillars I use a straight paraffin which is 4045...which I like very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I use a blend of 4630 and soy for my containers. I like 4630's throw but found it too soot-y, so added soy and now I feel I have found the perfect combo. I use that combo and 1246 for tarts and pillars. As for how to come up with the perfect combo for you, trial and error lol, just like everything in candlemaking!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
