Cindy/WI Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 OK I thought I read somewhere that these are the same wax, of you've used both waxes what do you think are they the same? I need to order more tart wax but if KY's is the same as JS then it would be a lot cheaper for me to just order from JS. TIA!!

Dolphin146 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I was told the other day that they are the same. I am gonna order the KY wax It's cheaper than JS by about 15.00 a 50lb box. Shipping from there is cheaper for me also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunharbor Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It's my understanding that the KY is 70/30...70% paraffin & 30% soy. It's what I've read but do not know 100% the exact percentages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelyscents Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I understand this is old, but figured it would help people like me that are still testing wax blends and newbies. The KY tart wax and the JS tart & votive are the same for sure. I think even Maple Street Silver 500 may be the same as RE/AH and JS. The all have the same MP, suggested temp for adding FO and granulated form. However, I am not sure how each supplier is able to market at different ratio percentages. I heard RE/AH is 70/30, JS states 50/50 and MS claims 60/40. They just love making it harder for us lol. On another note, I have heard some that get excellent results and some that said it didnt make the cut to their liking. So even if it is decent, we all still need to test, test again and test some more to find what works the best for each person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyscents Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Lets add to the confusion that The Flaming Candle has "Problend 650 votive and tart wax". Same MP, FO % load and granular form. They claim though, it is 52 soy 48 paraffin. Grr! Either way, Flaming and RE/AH got good reviews on the wax and are the same price, so only shipping would be different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickie Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have used both 650 and KY....they are similar, but I've always had better throw with 650 than KY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
