Yes and I love that you did! Thank you

Not even a throw from 464? The very soy wax you may want to move on from because of throw issues? ☹️ Have you tried it in paraffin also before ruling it out? Since you aren't opposed to exploring more than soy at this point, maybe give it a whirl

Even if you increase the size of the premier?

I know this is old (can always count on me to rehash old topics haha), but I just came across Red Shed maple syrup and pancakes at my local TSC and am obsessed with their version!! Has anyone found an oil as good or better than theirs?

Interesting

Such adorable molds, great job! I just have to add that I confirmed with CW today that their quality, custom blends (CBL) are NOT available in craft stores. Their basic paraffin wax choices are what is offered in your local craft store and can also be found via their website here... https://www.candlewic.com/store/category.aspx?q=c49&title=Paraffin-Wax

Just following up since I started this topic to let everyone know that I confirmed with CW that their custom blends are NOT the wax they offer to the craft stores. Therefore, their custom blends are of more quality...as we expected.

The post above looks as though she got it from BC.

Absolutely, you're welcome!

True, probably not their actual custom blends (CBL wax).

Definitely has good reviews, I like the free shipping option.

It doesnt come up anymore when you search it or click on candle wax. I also spoke with a rep that said they carry golden wax only.

In the many years I have been doing wax and bath, I've never purchased supplies local (only online) so I did not know this. I did a search and came across it on here from years ago and sure enough.

...Candlewic wax is at Hobby Lobby, under the name "Country Lane Candle Supplies"? Some knew this for awhile, but I'm just figuring this out lol. Weird how some will say HL wax is cheap and doesn't work but states they use CW wax blends that work wonders. 😂. This proves that some individuals just buy for the name without actually knowing it's the same. Getting the wax from HL obviously can be way more expensive than directly from CW, but just thought it was interesting on the varied opinions on the same wax in disguise. Proves how subjective this really is.

At this rate, the handmade market will become limited. So many suppliers closing, raising prices, changing formulas and discontinuing things we need. Keeping up with shipping and all of these issues just makes things so difficult anymore, it's so sad. Nothing against anyone who does direct sales or just buys already made items to stick their label on and sell, but these things I feel will become more common. The craft shows I attend are already filled with these types of sellers. It's one thing that we already put the time and effort into all of this including testing, just to have it ripped from us in terms of availability.

Just an FYI, Bulk no longer carries IGI wax if anyone purchases from them. They kept stringing customers along saying IGI wax would be back in stock soon, then took it away completely without notice.

JS votive tart PARAFFIN that is, not to be confused with parasoy options. If looking for parasoy... JS 50-50 tart/KY parasoy/Flaming 650 are all the same. I have never tried pillar of bliss from NG, so cannot speak for that being the same to these.

Happy to help

JS votive tart/KY 133/Flaming Problend 450 are all the same and are CJ Robinson manufacturer.

Hi Trapp, Any updates on the FB smores? Thank you

I just realized you mean 650, I apologize. I have 450 on the brain as I read Kat's comment while responding. The 650 is the same as KY parasoy, which you now know

KY 133/Problend 450/JS votive tart blend are all the same (made by manufacturer, CJ Robinson).

I thought the same as soon as I took it out of the shipping box. I did contact the supplier and they stated the 4625 is within specs and no other complaints. I pretty much was nice but firm with them that there's always a first to have a bad batch and it's me. They stated they don't usually refund, but they did for me. These slabs have been sitting and I do not have use for them.

I hear that and have been working with it several years now also and didnt think I would ever have to worry...until now. I have attached my receipt which they indeed state is 4625. Also attached photos of a piece chopped from it and on the slab itself, also the outcome of the tarts right before I popped them out. Does this happen to it if not stored properly or maybe the additives in it?

Also had this happen a couple of weeks ago upon ordering from VA candle supply. I knew something was off even seeing it as it had white snowflake type patches throughout the slabs. When I chiseled into it, it seemed very powdery and the inside looked like a wet diaper stuffing. Once the tarts set up, it looked like your photo and it leaked beyond belief in my molds even after waiting for settling oil prior to pouring. Never in the years using this wax has it done this and I know what to expect with heavy oils vs non etc. Disappointing and a waste. I too thought it was the wrong wax, but supplier confirmed it was 4625 and stated it was within specs with no other customer complaints of course. Edit to add: VA candle did refund me which they stated they don't usually do, great customer service on their part even though they aren't the manufacturer.
