Hello,
First post. I have only dabbled in soft soy wax for containers once, so please treat me like a total newbie...
I'm experimenting with a new product which is not a candle, and I need some help. There is a seamless metal tin with a screw top lid that I will be filling with wax. A decoration is on a stick that fits through a small hole in the lid, down into the wax which will anchor it in place, and the wax will also serve to add some much needed weight to the object. I need a wax with as high a melt point as possible, because the decorations are packaged lying horizontally and I want to be able to ship worry-free in the summer heat, boxes left in the sun, hot warehouses for days etc. However, I need the wax to stick to the sides of the container and not shrink/rattle around loose. The wax will not be scented or colored and the tops don't have to look pretty at all. Economical cost is important. Everywhere I look it seems like container waxes all have a melt point of 125 or less. Anyone know of the perfect wax for this application, or any tips to make this work? Thanks!!
