pixisprkl Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I need to re-evaluate my wax situation.I love the wax I use but I have no idea what kind that it is and shipping to me is outrageous!Can you use the J50 for tarts??The wax I currently use is soft with a melt point of 128 degrees (same as J50) and it works great. I am just not familiar with J50 and it's consistency.Any advice and information would be very helpful!TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndaJ Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi TiaI have not been able to use J50 as a tart wax. It is very hard to get out of the mold. Maybe if you mixed it with something else?LyndaJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixisprkl Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 That is what I am afraid of...Not even if you pop it into the freezer for a bit??What is it's texture? Is it more like vaseline and super soft or do you beat the slabs with a hammer to break them apart?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 In between. You can cut it with a knife. I use Astorlite V for tarts, or you can use 4794 if you don't mind a repour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will mix it with my current wax to try to prevent the repour... but hopefully it will help cut down my costs a bit. :smiley2:Thanks for the help!

Thats why you have the tarts sticking in the molds. You might want to try a pillar/votive blend to do your tarts. It would be a lot easier to make them.
