LeahRB Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 How long do you let these cure before testing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I usually let them cure anywhere from 36-48 hrs. I'm too impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks. Mine colored very easily. I used liquid dye. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I dyed some using dye chips and they came out perfect. Will be ordering liquid dyes the end of this month. Looking at dyes from CS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 I actually use both liquid and chips. I like both, but the liquid is so much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 From the way everyone talked I thought I could not possibly afford the KY tart wax with shipping but I emailed Vickie and lo and behold it will be cheaper for me than I am paying for the Eco PB.....So I will be placing an order this week. I just hope I get the great results like all these rave reviews I have read about it...LOLEmilyI wanted to tell everyone that with 10 lbs of wax and quite a few sample FOs and clamshells, she only charged me $9.00 for shipping. I was blown away. Oh and the tart wax is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWickedWick Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Yeah!!! so glad you liked it...I love it myself. Have fun...I like doing clamshells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsmyles Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I used NG 100% soy wax for both my candles and my clamshell tarts the last batch I made. I didn't even think about needing any other type of wax until later (oops)When I openend up the package and broke them apart, it was fortuently okay. They are a bit crumbly and don't break apart perfectly but - the end result is they melt and smell beautifully for hours on end In the picture below you can see how they broke apart.. ~* Sarah~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great and I don't have to stock 3 waxes. Question: When you say you blend 25/75, is that 25-container(say, 464) and 75-KY Tart wax?

That would be my guess. I'm throwing my two cents in since it looks like those that were in this thread haven't been on in a while. I've used KY wax and love it except for the dimples. I have found that a repair gets rid of them and they have smooth tops or I add some container wax to the blend but I add 4630 because I want more paraffin than soy. You can also get this wax from Virginia Candle and Flaming. It seems a couple more places have it too. Just Scent I think is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallPineCandles Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Thank you Belinda. I take it that the KY Tart Wax helps to harden the container wax a bit. I just received (today) 40 pounds of the KY Tart Wax from Virginia Candle. Man what fast shipping they have. And as for the dimples, does it really matter much in a cube pack?

LOL I'm thinking she was the person that owned Rustic Escentuals at one time. They're owned by Wholesale Supplies Plus now but their site still says Rustic Escentuals. As far as the dimples, no it doesn't matter, it's going to melt anyway. I just hate them LOL! I did see a guy on a youtube video pouring it the other day and his were pretty smooth. I think it depends on how fast it cools as to getting dimples. Where are you located? Check the prices from Rustic. Right now for some reason I can get 40 pounds shipped to me for only $15. From Virginia and Flaming the shipping was around $25 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Ok, I just noticed you live in Arizona. I'd still check and compare prices. You might get a better deal from Rustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
