How To Make SUPER STRONG Wax Melts For Beginners: Blending Waxes Together For Better Scent Throw!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2023
- In this video I'll be going over how to make SUPER strong wax melts by blending 2 waxes together for an even better hot throw as well as giving you my recipe for wax melts! Blending these 2 waxes together makes the PERFECT wax melts. They break apart super easily (just like you want) and are super strong (some customers have told me they're stronger than Bath And Body Works Candles!!) 2 Cubes will last a decent amount of time and fill a large area depending on the fragrance used.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing!❤❤❤
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! 😄❤️
Thanks so much for your video!!
Of course! I hope it helps! 😄❤️
Thank you for help me 😊
My pleasure 😄 I’m so glad I could help! ❤
I love this! I will have to try this blend. I use problend 650 now. I love it but always want to experiment!
It’s a great blend! A lot of my customers say they’re better and stronger than Bath & Body Works Candles! ❤
But I’ve thought about trying PB 100 too! I’ve heard good things!
@@the1994candleco I’m going to try it and let you know! I use 6006 in scent shots and love it!
@@bobbiadams9296Yeah let me know how it turns out! 😄❤️
Hi, Nick! Thank you for another GREAT video! It just happens that I love making wax melts/tarts for friends of mine who have no business being near a candle flame!!!! I would like to have your opinion of the wax that I currently use for melts/tarts. Although I am grateful for your ideas about blending waxes, I have never been quite secure enough to try that. Instead, I have relied upon Pillar of Bliss (Nature's Garden). I get wonderful cold and hot throw, and the melts release easily from the clamshell. Have you tried Pillar of Bliss? If you have used it, how does it compare with the wax blend that you demonstrated in this video presentation? I really am curious about your thoughts. Again, thank you for your work in this art/business, and thank you, too, for sharing so much. As always, your video presentations have a way of keeping me current in candle making. Take care!
Hey Charles! I unfortunately have never used Pillar of Bliss but I’ve heard good things about it! It’s on a very long list of waxes I’d like to try someday but not sure if it’ll be anytime soon unfortunately. But if I do or I find someone else who has I’ll let ya know! 😄
And thank you so much for watching! That truly means the world! Glad I could help in some way! 😄❤️
Thanks could you do more videos on 6006 wax please thanks
Yeah! Do you have an specific questions or videos you’d like to see?
Great video! This confirmed for me my thought on adding a little parrafin wax to my Apri-Coco Wax for firmer, less messy melts! Everything else seems to be just as making my candles as well... but did I miss the approximate temp you poured into the clamshells? (I purchased mine from a candle supplier: either Makesy, Dream Vessels, or 16 17 some months ago lol)
Thank you!
I usually don’t pay too much attention to what temp I pour! 🥴🤣 But I’d say it’s probably around 140-150ish. I pour fragrance usually around 180 and then stir for maybe 2-3 minutes. By then it should be cool enough to not melt the clamshells. Haha!
@the1994candleco Okay, sounds about right lol That's about how it works out for me with my candles also, but I just wanted to make sure since melts are something totally new for me to begin experimenting with... thank you, again🌹
Absolutely!! Hope it works for you! 😄❤️
Thank you! Good tutorial and you seem so sweet
Thank you so much! 😄❤️
Just found you omg you are amazing
Oh gosh thank you!!! 😄❤️ You’re too kind! ❤️ Thanks for being here! 😊
I use Soy A27. I love the texture of it and it throws really well, but it’s really hard to get in the USA.
Oh I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that wax! Is it 100% soy? That’s awesome! 😄
@@the1994candleco It’s made in Australia. It’s soy, palm, paraffin, and vegetable stuff (I have no idea what veggies is in it lol). I love it. I’ve had it hold 18-21% FO without secreting the oil.
@@MisterWhatWhat Nice!! That's awesome! 😄
Thank you ❤ I had all of these things already so I’m about to go make some❤ what is the cure time you go by for these?
Yay I love when that happens! Haha! I usually do about 48-72hours and they are good to go! 😄🙌
Thank you I have almost all Midwest fo I love them I just blended 50/50 pumpkin pecan waffles and peanut brittle it is🔥🔥🔥🔥 I got my waxes from Aztec and I bought some fo from them as well have you tried any from Aztec? My favorite is Midwest out of all the fo. My best seller for room spray is the one you use in this video❤
@@j23dowell I've only tried a handful from Aztec and unfortunately they weren't great throwers for me. I could barely smell them so I haven't tried any more recently but I may try some again! I've got some from them still sitting that I just never tried. Lol! And Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and Peanut Brittle sounds ammmazzzing!! 🤤 I may have to try that.
I thought they were too light as well from Aztec I think I’m only going to get my 6006 wax from them and not the oils. So far the rest of my oils have all been Midwest and they are strong. 💜 Do you have a pineapple scent? I’m looking for a good pineapple 💜
The pumpkin pecan waffles and peanut brittle turned out to be 🔥🔥💜 I did both scents from Midwest💜
Hi Nick, do you think I could mix problend 650 with igi 4625? What percentage would you recommend?
Yeah technically you can blend any wax together! Haha! I’ve never done those together so I don’t know what your results will be exactly! I would recommend starting around 10%-20% probably and go from there! It kinda depends on if you’re just trying to harden the wax or get a stronger scent throw or what exactly you’re trying to achieve! 😄
The best HT. I was just wondering because I need to use these waxes up.
I use 464 soy wax for squeezable melts … can I use it for these ?
I’m sure you could! I can’t say for sure how it’ll perform cause I’ve never used 464 but you could definitely try it out!
