ChrisR Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Sure you can!! You don't say if you are going to add FO or what type of mold you are using, but if you are using the metal tart molds you may want to spray them slightly with a silicone mold release or pam (then wipe off) so they don't stick. If you do scent them, try one without spraying them, as the FO may be enough to prevent sticking. Have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Seems like the melt point on Bees Wax would be kinda high to work well in a tart warmer. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelliebet Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Chris, Yes i want to add fragrance,and i would probably use the metal tart molds.Do the fragrances blend ok with the natural honey scent of the beeswax?or is it just trial and error like anything else. Thanks Again Lelliebet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The stronger the fragrance the better of course. I make all of my tarts from beeswax. They work very well for me and everyone else that tried them. I've tried paraffin wax but it seems that BW holds more fragrance and for a longer time. If you're concerned about the honey scent interfering with your FO, just buy the bleached BW.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Like Hibiscus said use the white (bleached) beeswax if it's a lighter scent you want to use, or trial and error with the regular. I don't make as many tarts as I do tapers and have no problems scenting over the natural scent of the wax. I also have no problem with the beeswax tarts working well in my warmers. My best selling beeswax tarts are those that I add a touch of some Beeswax & Honey FO from Sweetcakes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
