I have been using this recipe since I opened shop since early 2020 and I tested so many wax melts recipes and i started experimenting with igi 6006 and 4625 and i found a killer recipe using these two together just like you did here and I have to say this recipe by far has been the strongest scent throw and fastest curing wax melt ive ever found so i stuck with it since. I use fragrance oils from Aztec and I use roughly these measurements for each waxes and oils. I start with igi 4620 roughly 80grams and then I go all the way up to 454 grams of igi 6006, I melt the wax and let it cool to roughly 165 degrees pour in my fragrance and i use 1.3 oz of fragrance (roughly 8% but you can add more with softer fragrances like cherry blossom and such) and you pour around 150 and you get smooth wax melts with a great scent throw. I've been following your channel and candle group for a while now and you've been a massive help and i just want to say thanks!

one pour means that you only do one pour. Some waxes shrink and create holes when they harden and some people like to do a second pour. The different numbers are like amodel number. I will make a video about the different ones. :)

Hi, I make melts and use 464, but I have found that some are not as hard as others. I used ecosoya years ago before they changed there recipe and hiked the price. I don't know if maybe it was the fragrance or not, I have some universal soy wax additive that helps hard the wax which I also bought years ago I used to help with votives! Can I use this for my melts and if so how much per pound of 464 wax? Thanks so much, love watching your videos great tips. I make my melts in groups of 3 or 5, but now I'm going to do 7. Thanks again and God bless!

The last batch of 6006 I bought from lonestar was back in June and it has given the best hot throw I’ve ever got. Yours might be a bad batch. When I’m making candles with the 6006 I put a little more than the 10% recommended. It’s seems to work better for me that way.
