Hi again , I just got off the phone with my J-50 supplier and was told the following. There is a spec window that the wax has to be in for it to considered good. Say 1 - 10. 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest for a certain wax. In this case we are talking about J-50. I called them with my batch # and they said that my batch was sent out with the highest # possible for it to be good. I dont know what they call good, but if im going to have to add stuff to get it to burn right, why do I buy a pre-blend? My supplier asked them what they think we should do about the problems, and they simply said to wick up. Wow, why didnt I think of that? I guess us little ppl dont matter . We start looking for a new wax TODAY.
