flightoffancy Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 You can use a pillar/votive blend and add to your 135. I use Ecosoya Advanced and Ecosoya PB at 50/50 for my tarts and it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 If you are just looking to make the wax a little harder so it will come out of molds easier, couldn't you just add some stearic acid?You can blend it with votive tart wax like mentioned or even just a little paraffin.I pour 100% soy in clamshells or 1 oz cups for tarts without any additives.

Wick'n'Wax Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Any that I've had left I've poured straight into my tart moulds, so long as I've left it a while they come out ok.Should I not be doing this? Its what I always do, any wax left over, sets in the tart moulds, put in bags and labelled, should I need that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest reason a lot of us add to it is to firm up the wax so our tarts aren't as soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjrhsk Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yes. I originally posted this question because I thought if I didn't add anything to the container wax it would stick to my tart pan. I guess I could've just tried it to see but I'm a stickler for wasting fo and wax. I am so used to making 1 lb. wax/1oz.fo. Also I live in SC and I was thinking of transporting the tarts in the hot, hot summer coming up!! Thanks everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
