AkainePSP Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have been using candlescience glass glow wax for awhile now to make my tarts. Up until today I never used a thermometer as I didn't have one and just kind of wung it. I would melt the wax, vybar and color in a double boiler, let it sit for 5 minutes, add fragrance, stir for a minute or so and then pour. I'm still pretty new at using palm wax. I've only made maybe 20#'s worth of palm tarts.Well when following the directions at candlescience I got awful results, no crystalization and they popped right out of my mold. The tops reminded me of a tortoise shell and honestly they had a soy like appearance.Ok even doing this my own way it is still continuing to happen, would the fo do this? Out of 5 fragrances only 1 turned out as it should. What am I doing wrong??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmeroo Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I wouldn't use the vybar....that is probably the problem.Also cool them slowly on a cooling rack so the air can circulate and cool them evenly.HTH....Kimmeroo:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkainePSP Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I tried with and without. The wax would not even adhere to the sides of my containers either. I even warmed and insulated them. Its as if I was sent the wrong type of wax?There is absolutely no scent throw when heated either.Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
