Stupid Question about tarts and soy wax

[mindy5140]

Can you use Natures gardens 100% soy wax for tarts???

I use a soy votive/pillar blend.I did make some with leftover soy wax and they broke easy.

For the soy pillar blend I drop the tarts and they are fine.Some soy waxes are just to soft.

Yes you can, you can also add beeswax to harden the soy a bit. I stopped using the soy because I didn't like the looks- frosting of the soy. Plus if I added a second color it would bleed into each other, so I now use a veggie based pillar/votive blend. HTH

I was always told 25% container wax to 75% pillar wax,,HTH

I tried but didn't suceed, they cracked when I tried to get them out of the mold. Thanks for sharing what you use.

I use candy molds when doing some of my tarts and I put them in the freezer for awhile and they pop right out. I was doing some intricate shapes the other day and they kept breaking so after 3 times of remelting the wax on my tart warmer (they're for my own use- left over wax I was practicing w/) I put it in the freezer and they popped right out and none broke.

To get my tarts out of the mold easy I lightly spray the molds with PAM.Works great and they just fall out.No problems at all.

I put mine in the freezer...they fall out of the tray, so be careful.
