mindy5140 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Okay so I just tried GG in my tarts and now I can't them out. HelpPop your Melts in the freezer for a few min. and they'll pop out. I did the same thing with GG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMama6 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi,For those of you that use KY wax for melts and votives, how do you price them? That wax is high in price so I was curious how you price them to make a profit. I am going to be starting votives and with such rave reviews of that wax, I would like to try it, but it just seems a little steep.I currently use 415 so maybe I could add something to that for the votives instead. Any suggestions?Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMkrInTN Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Okay. So Ky votive for tarts? What about for the cubes/max melts? Same suggestion? Better than GB 415?? I'm afraid to venture into the wickless/tart world. :tiptoe: Help me please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardLOZ Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am a little curious if those of you who use palm wax to make tarts are you using the feather or starburst and do you have problems with getting sink holes in yours??DebbieWe use feathering palm for our tarts with no issues at all. They all seem to come out really well with no holes or pits, and the scent throw is great. We did try some of the starburst palm when our supplier ran out of the feathering and had huge issues with that. Holes & pits all over the place no matter what temp we poured at. We have since finished that batch of wax and are back to our regular feathering.We will sonn be looking at using some soy as we are going to be doing some bakery lines in tarts, and somehow I just dont think a feathered cinni bun is going to cut it The only issue I have with that is that the soy pillar / tart wax is quite a bit more expensive than the palm.CheersRichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerngrace Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 KY's votive/tart wax is the best IMO. I've tried 4794 very little to no scent throw. Eco PB it was OK but had to let them cure for about a week to get a good scent throw.KY's I make in the morning burn that same night and get an awesome scent throw.. HTHAre you talking about KY's Para Soy Tart Votive wax? I have been making candles for about 15 years and have friends asking about tarts...However, I want a good wax that will help me be able to compete with Scentsy.

southerngrace Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Another vote for KY here!! Love that stuff...I love KY! I get my wax and most of my FO's there too! Vickey is awesome and her oils are fantastic! Her Pink Sugar Cookie and Vanilla Butter Fudge are two of my best sellers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallwhitedogs Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 KY has the best scent throw and burning characteristics of all votive waxes I have tested. Use a CD 5 for votives. I have been very happy with KY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirlee Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) People keep recommending the KY Parasoy Tart/Votive wax but it's still showing as out of stock. Very discouraging : (Blessings,Shirlee Edited November 21, 2010 by Shirlee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavenly scents Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 i am wondering the same how long has this wax been out of stock if any of you guys watch her site regularly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 TCS for me, no questions about it - but trying to find a replacement because I don't want to run the risk of having a supplier discontinue their "own proprietary blend", as it's happened in the past with a few of them.Never had much luck with the KY wax. Scent throw wouldn't last long at all and wasn't strong; still have uite a bit of it left, which I will eventually use in some application :rolleyes2Combo that comes closest to my beloved TCS wax is 4794 and soy. Those who have tested my tarts tell me they average 3 days of non-stop "burning"; HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxcandles Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I love the KY wax, just concerned that it tends to be out of stock...like right now. But Vickey is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psfponies Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I too just starting making tarts. I am using 6006 which has a fragrance load of 10%. I use about 10 - 12% FO in my tarts and they seem to have a great cold and hot throw and they last about 6 to 8 hours. Each tart is approx .65 oz. plus. The blend is a bit soft but if I put the warmer bowl in the freezer for a bit the left over wax pops right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevershanda Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just placed order for this KY and she said they were hopefully getting a shipment in wednesday and if so they would ship then Shanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think adding some more paraffin to it will help with the throw?It's worth giving it a shot. Try adding some 4794 or 4786.I'm with you, I was very disappointed with the results I got using the KY parasoy for tarts, the throw wasn't strong and just fizzled out after a few hrs. But that's just my experience; many people love that wax, I'm just not one of them, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerbaby Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Ravens. What combo of 4794 and what soy wax and at what ratio do you mix to get the best and longest scent throw from your tarts? Thank you, Elizabeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
