I just found out/heard that the container palm I'd been using is just plain stearic acid... The CP from Calwax. Could that be so? I knew I could also make pillars with it... I think I'm just stumped knowing now that I've been using something so simple, or what people would consider an additive. What do you think they add to other container palms to make it different, a "better" blend? Do you get what I'm asking? Would I be better off exploring, say IGI's palm container, or what CS calls Glass Glow, or just stick with what I've been doing? My people like it, and I get good throw with the right oils and wicks. Am I missing something? If I had a blank slate, would it be worth retesting everything? Would I find better burn properties with a more "complex" blend?
