hank7fd Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Just wondering if anyone has ever mixed the two waxes together (half and half)...did they blend ok? thinking that may be the solution to not double wicking the wider jars if i could blend the two together and create an "in between" melt pool.

Grumpy Girl Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The two waxes are very similar, I don't see what you'd gain. Maybe try with soy or another type of wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank7fd Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 i thought by mixing the two waxes together, it may possibly bring the "melt point' down on the entire wax. what i'm looking to say... 4630= HIGH MP, 4627= LOWER MP...therefore, thought by mixing the two together i'd get something a little easier to work with when it came to wicking wider jars.just didn't know if they blended well together...thought someone here may have had some sort of insight on blending the two together.

Alan Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 They actually melt at about the same temperature, despite the 4627 being softer.The only way to know if it would lead to a mixture that could be single wicked in your wider jars would be to try it. However, even though the 4627 is softer, from my experience it doesn't lead to wider melt pools with a single wick. Hope that helps.Cheers,Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yep, I use 4630 exclusively, and it's ALMOST as soft as the 4627.Just seems like more work to me, and I'm all about making the least amount of work for myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank7fd Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 thanks...i thought that the slab form had a lower melt point than the goopy bagged wax...(i'm starting to get the #'s confused now!). off to do some more simple testing and even more research!thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
