Toni S. Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 I tried the EcoSoya CB Advanced for my container wax and was very disappointed with the hot and cold throw, hardly anything there compared to the Nature Wax. I've read where alot of chandlers are disappointed with the throws with EcoSoya wax?Confusing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Ecosoya PB is great for tarts. I have been using it for over a year now and have never had any issues with it. I woulden't use anything else. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mineralesque Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Someone had told me to use 3 oz of C3 to V1 and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Cellar Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 You have to try Ecosoya PB for tarts. Great throw and great looking tarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have been finding Ecosoya PB quite satisfactory for soy-based wax pillars and votives. But if you are simply making tarts, why not simply mix it with some C3? Others have found this to be a satisfactory solution to the cracking isues.

bunkie68 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I use Ecosoya PB for tarts and have had decent results. Occasionally I'll have to pop them in the freezer to get them to release, but no cracking like with the V-1, that's for sure.I'm also using the palm/coconut wax from Mill Creek (Mill Creek's All Natural Pillar/Votive Wax is how it's listed on the site). It takes longer to set up and release, and it's more expensive, but it makes a mighty fine tart.For what it's worth, I tried mixing C-3 with V-1 and it didn't make things any better. I wouldn't touch V-1 with a ten-foot pole (which is sad, because I could get it right up the road from Lone Star and save a ton on shipping costs!).

Toni S. Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think I'll try the Ecosoya PB and see how that works. I live close to BCN where I can drive and pick it up so that will save me money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
