Wow ,I am shocked to hear this . I have such great results with these same beads .Are you sure you received the correct beads ? I have had no issues at all with my batches & have baked over 3-400 ornies already. Could possibly be the paint in the interior of your cutters ????? Puzzled on this & so sorry your having the issue . Kat

Shelly ,I just read this & that's a good question. I bet the Kool aid man mold is awesome . It may be a tm infringement ,if the word Kool aid is embedded into the mold kwim ? Very interesting question . -
Welcome to CS from South Tx !

JC, Your soap is Stunning! I admire your work ,I know these have to go fast , I want them all. The tails are brillant & colors are perfect .

I am hoping you can find the wax at another supplier 😀

I know exactly how you feel ,your correct no one can possibly know how bad the pain is ,unless they have the same condition . That's so sad about your fall , unbelievable . I have finally found a great doctor & he is very helpful . He does not believe in surgery ,unless it is absolutely necessary . I respect him for that kwim. I know surgery would be my last resort & I am doing ok for now . I have ok days & not so good days as well . I am glad you still make your crafts & this does help in my opinion to stay as active as possible. I probably have this in my lower as well ,just never got a MRI on the lower spine ,it bothers me ,not near as much or often as my neck thou . I do realize the pain you have to face. I deal with chronic pain so much & it's become a part of life now . We just somehow learn to deal with it . I just stay positive as I possibly can & keep strong . I refuse to quit & love pouring wax ,making bath bombs & car freshners . I also love cooking & gardening .I love your waffle melts ,just saw your pic,awsome .

Yes in Brenham ,I live about a hour&half from the BB Cremery, such a awesome place to visit to. You can actually take a tour & sample all the flavors . I once received a free BB Ice cream scoop from them .

JC ,I love the BB Brides cake & get it at our local grocery store . The BB is here in Brenham Tx & we get that flavor . There is also a Grooms cake ,chocolate flavor with cake pieces ,very yummy . I live about a hour & half from the actual Blue Bell creamery in Brenham Tx . It is the absolute best ice cream ever . If you ever go to Brenham Tx you can actually take a tour & sample the flavors ,lol they also will give you a BB ice cream scoop for visiting . Well they did years ago & still may . Have not been in a long while . Lol if this ice cream would not melt ,I would send you a half gallon . It is awesome & we always keep a few flavors in our freezer to indulge in at night . I love their Peaches & homemade vanilla 😀

I have had steroid injections ,helps for a little while . I have not had surgery & do not plan to kwim. I have spinal stenosis & let me tell you ,it is awful at times . I have to it in my cervical & thoratic spine . I get most of my pain in my neck area & I tend to aggravate things alot by being hard headed . I should not lift more than 3lbs ,do I listen NO lol. A slab of wax is 10 & I have been known to lift way more . Lol my grandson is a year old & he weighs near 30 lbs. I pick him up constantly & pay dearly afterwards. I am pretty hard headed & determined to stay as active as possible,being 55 with this condition is certainly no fun . I just keep on keeping on. I pour my wax ,along with gardening & many other task. I am a work Aholic lol. It sounds like your doctor actually needs to read your chart right . Did the surgery help you at all? I am no way going to let them cut into my spine .The surgery does not have a great success rate & just to terrified of ever getting surgery . I do not think it's worth the risk at all. I admire your determination with candle making ,after going thru such a major surgery. I look forward to the new waxes I ordered & results. I may have to try some 4627 again after reading your post lol. I just remember the wax being really soft & greasy . I think it would be worth the mess if performance turned out really great .

I use 4630 & 4625 blend for melts & I also use C Wic in house 129 blend for many scents . I do not blend the 129 ,performs good on its own . I recently ordered some 4636 container to blend with the 4625 . I have been wanting to test many different combos for a while now . I also have read JC a member here blends 4794 with 4625 & gets good results . I plan to test this blend as well . I do like the blend I use ,just enjoy blending waxes & see what I come up with . It's very interesting to me to play around with different formulas. I only use 4630 alone when making container candles . I do have some palm on hand to try ,when I find some extra time . Lol I only have a presto with a spiget for my melting .I have to slice & hammer to break into smaller portions for melting . The 4630 slices easily & the others I break with a hammer ,kind of fun if my neck is not bothering me . I have major neck & spine issues & have to take many breaks when super busy .I know what you mean about spine issues ,chronic pain is not a walk in the park . I have good days & bad . I try to stay positive & do the best I can . I love my wax crafting & refuse to quit lol.

I did use 4627 years ago & found it to be messy to work with ,so I never really gave it a chance . I lack patience in candle making & make lots of melts . I have finally mastered a few scents with 4630 & had great results . I plan to start on more testing soon ,when I can get the time to do so . I stay so busy with melts & my candle making has been put on the back burner . I have always loved the look of palm candles 😀

I use & order 4630 from Aztec & Flaming . I get a different texture between both of these waxes (4630),this has been the case for years now .The slabs from Flaming are much harder than Aztecs . I have a much harder time cutting thru the wax with Flamings I have nothing bad to say about Flaming ,as I love this supplier. I just prefer the softer 4630 paraffin . I find Aztecs is much easier to cut & for some reason I get better results with the softer slab .The color is slightly different as well . I have also received 4630 from C Makers & this supplier had the softest 4630,I have ever used. The color is definitely darker ,has a deep yellow tone to it & very greasy texture. I have often wandered why the waxes are all different & performance is not the same with between the different batches . All are IGI waxes . I was reading Lone Stars 4630 reviews & this was enough to scare me away from ordering & trying their 4630. I purchased a slab of 4636 just to satisfy my curiousity .The 4636 container from LS had very good reviews .I have zero experience with the 4636 ,look forward to the results . I know now I am not crazy after reading this thread ,have tried 3 different 4630 waxes & none have been the same between the 3 suppliers ,kind of strange imo.This has been going on for years now . It would be nice to get consistent performance from one wax kwim Kat

Very nice ,I like !!!!
-
Same Here!!!!
-
You can always offer it for sale here on CS .I am sure many would be interested in this wax 😉

I really like 4630 . Have you ever tried 4636 ? I ordered a slab from Lone Star ,due to good reviews .
