Robyn64 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi there ,Been making candles about 11 yrs but only recently went into making tarts where I worked for a little while with another candle company. The y wanted me making tarts an had to find a suitable recipe. I did make them with paraffin wax and 1 % vybar. These were made in rubber molds so stearine wasnt added.Now I have left that company and am back in my own business again, Im not quite 100 % happy with these tarts, I call them meltz.Could anybody suggest a way on improving maybe the scent throw on these ? I dont have any other waxes except plain parrafin with a melt point of 55- 60 c. Should I add a little more vybar, this would cause more shrinkage or waving of wax ?Help much appreciated ,Thanks,Robyn :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Robyn, adding too much vybar will make them ripple. Is there any way you can get your hands on some container wax (lower MP)? Many mix the 2, 25% container to 75% paraffin. Perhaps something to lower the MP a bit? Not sure what options are available to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
