How to make squeezable wax melts

4 oz soft wax 8 oz carrier oil 18% FO 1/2 oz

[@aliciahabjan8815]

This may be a stupid question but does this recipe create 12 oz worth of squeezable wax melts? So it would fill 2 8oz pouches, 6 oz would be in each?

[@Lamans2009]

how did it turn out? Did you use 4oz of wax & 8oz of vegtable oil?

[@BratGirlDesigns]

@mandyd.6960 I did. The wax is difficult to squeeze from the pouch. I assume it's because I used a parasoy wax. It's what I had on hand. Could that be the issue? Otherwise, it went well.

[@RandySoWavvy]

@@BratGirlDesigns depends on what parasoy there’s soft parasoy blends and there’s hard parasoy blends

[@BratGirlDesigns]

​@RandySoWavvy I just made a batch with soy wax. Fingers crossed it is better. The other wax I used was the wax I use for wax melts. It must have been the firmer kind. I'm still pretty new to this so I'm trying to get it figured out.

[@kellyheckman247]

I've always wanted to try this. Thank u for sharing. I did get confused at the end. I used 464 soy wax (4oz) by weight, 8oz of vegetable oil. My issue is that mine will not "solidify" much. Consistency is like runny/watery mashed potatoes. Was oil by weight or volume?

[@bakertownsilkflowersandstu1853]

I did the same with 444 soy and I can get mine to harden at all. Super runny.

[@TheAmazon428]

im finding the ratio that works best is 1 to 1 ratio. so if i use 5oz of wax , I'll use 5oz of oil. then i multiply the total oz (10) by 18% (1.8oz) and then you'll get the oz of fragrance oil to use. this has worked the best for me so far. The consistency is kinda thicker but just warm it up by squishing in your hands and it comes out just fine.

Thank you for sharing this video with us. I do have two questions. Do you have to let them cure for two weeks or you can use them right away and what temperature did you pour the fragrance?

@@starlabesoycandleco thank you for replying back. Definitely will try it out ☺️

[@ophdarecord]

Quick question. When you added 1.5 oz of FO you said you were adding it to 8 oz of wax but I was a little confused because you started with 4 oz wax and 8 oz oil for a total of 12 oz.

[@besoycandleco.2279]

Yeah i misspoke. The easy way to remember is one part wax two parts oil. Then get your math skills ready to determine what % of FO you want.

[@HealthyHairJourney72]

So In other words the calculations is off correct? Because I’m trying to make this exact batch and when I do the math 12oz x 18% is not giving me 1.5fo please clarify thanks

So I did this but with freedom soy and not 464 but I’ve noticed that the oil is starting to separate from the wax. What could have caused this?

[@TheAmazon428]

When I’ve used other waxes other than golden 464 wax, it doesn’t bind to the fragrance oil and doesn’t mix well with the oil period. So it separates bad. Each wax has a different melting point for when you’re supposed to add fragrance oil. Also I’ve found that 1 to 1 or 1 to 1.5 ratio is better. 1 to 2 doesn’t get thick enough for me.

[@EktaGupta-ev3qf]

Can you post in grams please. I am so confused with calculations. Half oz of Fragrance Oil or one and half oz of Fragrance oil?

[@TheAmazon428]

Just search up a conversion from oz to grams. Also with the FO I would just multiply your total oz of oil to wax mixture by whatever percentage of FO you want to use. For example; 4 ounces of wax to 4 ounces of oil so that would be 8 ounces times 18% and that would give you 1.44oz of fragrance oil.
