Tizimarezie Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Once upon a time, I ordered EcosoyaVB in error and while this is a horrible wax for any purpose, I managed to work with it (blending with EZsoy, adjusting heating pouring temps...) and used it strictly for making tarts/melts. My tarts/melts were solid, creamy, shiny and smooth. I loved them! Now, I'm running low and finding that this wax apparently doesn't exist anymore. (Truly, it's no wonder as it makes horrid votives!). SO....I now need a new kind of wax!!!:undecided I'm eyeballing the GB 415 for tarts. For those who use this wax, do your tarts/melts come out nice and hard with a smooth finish? I don't want any frosting...none...zip..nada!Would using a PB blended with a wee bit of EZsoy work better than 415? If so, any recommendations?Any input is appreciated!TIA:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 :smiley2: My opinion is that the KY Pillar/Votive blend is wonderful for tarts, votives and pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'd recommend using the GB 416 instead, this is their tart wax and produces hard, shiny tarts. The 415 is a container wax and wouldn't be as hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 :embarasse Oh Duh! I'm sorry. I meant to say GB 416. Thanks for the info on it, Gypsyjen. Do you know if it frosts??And...Kaybee23, do you need to add anything to the KY Pillar/Votive blend (well, other than FO and dye)?? Do I need to worry about cracking issues?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It does frost with reds, but is fairly well-behaved with other colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
