redquilt Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've been using this blend for tarts for the past year and have always noticed a little bit of brownish residue in the melted wax, and specifically after it's been on the warmer for several hours. It matters not the fo I use. I've not noticed this with a paraffin wax I've used. Is this common with soy blend tarts?Judy N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The only thing I notice with this wax is it looks "brownish" when melted in the pot, but once it sets up, it's creamy again....I don't dye my candles.When you say residue, do you mean in the finished product?

redquilt Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 No, I mean the melted wax. Intially the melted wax in the bowl is clear liquid, but after my wax has been on the burner for several hours, okay like maybe after all day, I will get a tiny little bit of brown residue in the melted wax. It just floats around in the wax. Maybe I'm letting it set on the burner too long. I assumed it was natural impurities in the soy. I don't use color in the wax, just fo.

Darbla Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 OK, my wax is never on heat for more than a few MINUTES. Which I do know others with their Presto Pots will leave it going awhile, but all day??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda (OH) Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It may be associated with the "soy" blend - I know in my turkey fryer after a long period of time of continuous refilling I notice brown speckles of "floaties" that settle in the bottom. I just had to clean it out this past weekend. Quite a project, I might add :undecided I use the parasoy container wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
