Perfect! Thank you so much for your help everyone! I know that it will take testing and more testing to see what wax will work with this or that, I just try to get everything into the simplest terms I can, that way I don't misinterpret anything Thank you all again! I appreciate your time!

Thank you so much. I get it now. So you are saying that I might be ok with the 4786 for containers and melts and if I venture into something else I will need to use a different wax.

Oh dear. I have no idea. I want to get the 4786 that people have been talking about if that helps any. I know I read it on the website, but I don't remember now

Thank you so much! I am going to try using the same wax again and see what happens. Test Test and Test!

I was sitting here thinking about supplies I need to get started. I've looked at a million websites, read through some of the categories here. I have a question about wax. A few years ago when I was making candles, I bought all my supplies from Hobby Lobby. I know, I know I wanted to play around at the time. The wax was 10 pounds of paraffin. I remember making some container candles, in jars, and also some melts. All with the same wax. The CT was amazing and the HT was good only when you were near the warmer. The candle HT was a bit better. So, the question is this. Why can't you use the same wax for both? Seems they have wax for each individual type product one would want to make? I am going to start with paraffin jar candles (pint sized) with wooden wicks.

Thank you all for the great welcomes! I can't tell you how excited I was to see that this board was actually ACTIVE! LOL I am enjoying reading through everything and have learned that I have a LOT to learn! I've been taking notes like a madwoman! Thanks again and I look forward to sharing my successes and failures

Hi Terry, Nice to meet you! Thanks for the welcome!

Good Morning! I am so glad I found this forum and that it is active! I am just getting started making candles. I made them as a kid in the garage and just fell in love with it. Well that was many many moons ago and now the bug has bitten me again! I saw that there was an FO review thread, is there one for wax? I will be using paraffin and there is so much out there, I don't know what to get. Would love to know from others what they've bought and like. I look forward to interacting with everyone as I begin this journey!
