moonshine Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I just received my order of this wax.... I have been very happy with my current blend and really dont know why I am trying something new again other than the fact I ALWAYS wonder if there is better out there! LOLI liked what I read in reviews on this wax from people for soy melts (tarts) and I really liked the idea that IF it was that good I wouldnt have to order 2 different waxes anymore and save on shipping and some time....however I must of missed the memo that "this wax requires a second pour" UGGHHHH:timeout: seriously!! I hate making votives because of this reason and now I would have to do this with melts!Before I go start experimenting...Anyone out there use this wax? Is a second pour really neccesary? and how does it compare to the PB if you have ever used that as wellThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 You bought the Votive & Pillar or the Tart & Votive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I bought the votive and pillar- the tart and votive is a para-soy which I did not wantbut the more I think of it... the PB is a soy votive and pillar wax and although I blend it with container soy for melts I do not have to do a second pour- the votives I do because of the flaired top on the molds to make them look better and not sunk inI have made straight PB melts and did not like the HT but I dont remember thinking they looked bad as in needing a second pour so I am going to try this stuff that is supposed to have amazing HT without a second pour and see what happens... hey if the throw is there I can always blend in container to this also to use it up if needed-- I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Moonshine, how did you like this wax for the tarts? Curious about the ht and the duration of the throw...tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I am really liking it- it pops right out of the mold easily and holds FO beautifully and no frost at all so farIt does need a cure- the longer the stronger and so far all the scents I have done have way outdone my PB/various container blends in strength of throw but I am still trying to determine if they last as long- I am testing them at work and the hours are 9 to 5 and so far they have been lasting that long for sure and some into the next day- it does yellow and start to smell waxy when the scent burns out- but I consider that pretty good as I have never got that long out of a yank meltMy other blend I am thinking may last a little longer but not as strong in throw so last night I added a touch of 415 just to see if this helps with duration- I will keep you posted- but overall I do have to say I am loving it- I like strong and would rather swap it out sooner than have longer "fainter" throwHave not tried votives yet but plan to soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thx! Have you compared KYs V&P wax with their Parasoy tart wax? Right now Im testing TCS tart wax...pops right out, decent ht, but doesnt last long. Hopefully will get a chance later this week to test it with some C3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Imc- no I have never used a parasoy or paraffin- I started with soy and never ventured outside of it yet -3 years later still looking for the perfect blends! LOLAnd with tarts I am at the point where I am almost out of PB and my third 10lb bag of ky p&v and still don't know what to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
