MaryAnnKacz Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Is there such a thing? May be giving up on soy. I did use Ezsoy for tarts with some beeswax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennhalcyon Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 With most container blends, no because they will make your tarts too soft. But here is a wax from Candlewic that is very hard and can also be used for votives and tarts. I haven't tried this wax yet, but I know others on the board have. I just requested a sample of it the other day!http://www.candlewic.com/candle-wax/PDS-CBL129.pdfJenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryAnnKacz Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have used Candlewic CB-129 or CB-125, can't remember which one, a few years ago. I just remembered I did do some tarts and they turned out great. I stopped making candles and wanted to try soy. I liked the CB, but of course I had to do repours, which I hate. No repours with Ezsoy, but not getting good scent throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherl Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have a container wax and a pillar/votive wax.. tarts are a blend of the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junebug Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I made some tarts today with ezsoy and added some BW. The scent throw hot and cold is amazing! Maybe it is the FO or the temp you add the FO at?I add my FO at 180 degrees.HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnnKacz Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I added 1/2 oz beeswax per lb. I used 1.5 FO per lb. I add at 180 also. I haven't tried my tarts yet. I thought I would let them cure. Do you have a good hot throw the same day? How much beeswax do you use? I also used it for candles same amount. Maybe my tarts will throw. The only problem I had in mini muffin pans were very shallow sink holes. The second batch I let cool on top of stove and didn't get sink holes. At what stage do you pour? I have found if I wait until 100 it is too thick by the time I am half through pouring. I have been pouring more of a thick cake batter than slushy.

StephD Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I don't add anything and use EcoSoya PureSoy and they are not too soft. They pop right out in perfect little cubes and I can't keep up with the people who want them. My brother is bugging me now because he has people who want to place orders.Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnnKacz Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 What molds do you use. I would like to make smaller tarts than mini muffin. More like chips. Was thinking about the clamshell molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaG Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have used 4786 for both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephD Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I use the clamshells from KY Candle Supply. There are a lot of suppliers that sell them, so I would just check around.Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
