Ilona Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 HiI was wondering, after burning a tart, can you use the same wax again to make another tart by just adding more FO to it? I hate to waste wax that I use for personal use.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxGirl Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I had read here somewhere that even though the scent may be gone from the wax, that the oil is still there and it can only hold so much. So no, I don't think you're supposed to add more oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smart tart Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I don't (wouldn't) reuse for another tart but I do throw them in a box and use them to start fires in fireplace and for friends who camp....have a big box of 'old, used' wax that I just throw end pieces, old tarts, etc in.

Candle Man Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I sell FO to my customers to refresh wax in burners & potpourri pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I have added extra oil to "used" tarts many times. I have more wax sitting in my garage and pouring room than I could ever make but still hate to throw away tarts wax. Sooo I wicked a jar and started pouring the used wax in the jar. Looked so pretty all those colors. It's for when the lights go out and I need a candle. I know something is wrong with me, help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelleB Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It's for when the lights go out and I need a candle. I know something is wrong with me, help....I do that too! I've got all sorts of "kaleidoscope vomit" candles sitting around here, lolol. Having a thunderstorm right now as I type, so they're out and ready to roll if I need em!

creativegems Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Now I feel guilty. I add FO to the wax in my burner sometimes but I always throw it away when I'm done with it.Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I thought I'd heard a lot in my 50 years, but that's the first time I have ever heard of a "kaleidoscope vomit" candle....LMAO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
