I was recently given a pile of candle-making supplies so I've been learning all I can. I'm excited to dive in but I have a large box of mystery wax. The box was badly torn when it was given to me (and the bag inside already opened but barely used). Since I had no idea at the time that there are different types of wax, we had transferred the bag into a plastic bin and tossed the torn box. And I didn't discover until too late that I needed to know what kind of wax it was! The other box I have is NatureWax V-1 for votives and I'm betting they were the same brand - they seem similar (except the bag is black instead of blue). I'm assuming I need to do tests and try to figure out what kind of wax it is? Like making votives and containers and comparing? But what do I look for - should it be easy to tell as soon as they set or do I need to burn them? I made a batch last night - one votive, one floating candle, one tart, one tin and one bear-shaped jar. They all look great except the bear jar has wet spots and white-bubbles along the joints of the bear, and very slight roughness at the top. My research seems to indicate it could be the wax is votive wax or I might have just poured it too cold?
