Tootie...thanks for the follow-up. I have a 10lb bag waiting for me at the post office. I will start my own testing soon (but I haven't gotten my wicks yet!!). I also have some of the 464 to test...but that is currently not available at anywhere. So far the test results on that one look promising but i realistically would go with the 435 if Peaks doesn't carry it (the 464). Thanks again!!

Any more updates on your testing of the 435??? Tootie? RealMarcha?

Well...so far I haven't seen any big complaints about this wax and it seems really similar to the KY 125 so I think I'll try it. Please keep posting results as I'll keep reading them!

Thanks for the info. I have some wick sampler packs coming in (CD, RRD and ECO)...I'm sure I will be busy. I saw your candles on your webiste and they look great! I'm a little intrigued by the concept of the "wickless candle".

Patricia...what diameter is the container you are testing in right now? I plan on using the 8oz tins (i've read horror stories about trying to wick these...I guess I'm a masochist!). Thanks for the conintuing updates...I will be waiting for the next one!!!

Angela...where are you located? I might be interested in that 10lbs of wax. Please e-mail me @ pocha@aol.com with the details

Patricia...thanks again for you response. That helps alot. How is it for re-pours? Can it be considered a 1-pour? Also, how does scent throw compare to the KY125? This will be me 1st foray into soy candling and, from my previous experience..people buy primarily for scent. I'm generally not too concerned at how my candles look...just how they smell (cold and hot). Thanks again!!! I guess we can never be sure if its exactly the same as the 125.

So does it seem like the wax is "identical" to the KY 125 or just "similar"? I assume if you think you need to wick up from what you normally use it may not be identical...

Hi Patricia!! Thank you so much for your response...please keep me updated on this...I will probabaly go with this wax (gw435) if it gets good "reviews" from you...especially since you have experience with the KY125 and can compare them. Does the 435 come in slab or flake/pastille form? And, yes...this is a great board! I'm glad I found it. Also, do you know of any other suppliers of candle supplies in our "neck of the woods"? Thanks again!!

Hi...I live in northern California and I am just getting back into candle making. I want to switch over to soy/natural wax since I lost my previous distributor of my DK 5766 and I would like to try a "cleaner burning" wax. I have been doing all the research on the different waxes (on this board and others) and had pretty much decided to try the EZ soy (and order from BCN). Then, after reading previous posts it appears that Golden wax 415 is/may be the same exact thing (I can get that cheaper at Peaks due to shipping). While on the Golden website I was intrigued by a GW 435 which is a soy/cottonseed oil blend and which appears to MAYBE be similar/dup of KY 125. I couldn't find any messages regarding the GW 435...has anyone used this wax and is it, in fact, the same as KY 125 (which many people seem to like)?? I appreciate any help at all!! Thanks in advance...
