Hello everyone. I just found this board about two weeks ago and have read and re-read several threads. One of them, "The best throwing wax", started by Trappeur, discusses the CBL 125, Palm wax (two kinds), and I the 4627 so I decided to try all of them (and the wicks that were suggested, too), and I will order some 129 after I get through all the ones I just ordered!
I started making candles last November and was told to start with 4630 (not by CW but one of the other six places I have ordered from :) and I can not get a reliable result as far as scent throw through two boxes even after multiple heating/pouring/wicking combinations so I was THRILLED to find you all!
I don't know how to just quote just the last line of the above post but that is what I wanted to respond to: I called CW to ask some questions before I ordered and was told that the 125 is the IGI 4633 (the old J223).
I also asked her to rank (in her opinion) the waxes I was asking about for HT. This was the order she thought they landed in:
129 (two pour) best throw out of this list but a little more work b/c of the second pour,
125 (single pour),
4627 (single pour), very close to the 125 as far as throw but MUCH messier,
4630 (single pour)
I found this helpful because it pretty well lined up with most of the comments I have read on here so far
Anyway, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge and experience! It is MUCH APPRECIATED!
