Thanks guys for the advice, I ended up just buying a new batch from a different supplier. Still igi 6006 and great results again like always. Upon further testing I determined that the batch of wax sent to me was contaminated with dirt and dust. The dirt/dust was causing a ton of air bubbles, which led to these cracks. I didn’t have air bubbles on the outside of the jar but unfortunately the debris inside the wax was leaving air pockets and causing the wax to crack. I contacted Aztec, and they wouldn’t assist me in a refund or replacement as it had already been past my return window. So lesson learned, test your wax upon delivery, especially if you order in advance like me because of supply chain issues. Also if your wonder why I didn’t notice the debris beforehand, I use a melting pot to heat up my wax. I then pour my already heated wax in a pouring pitcher and throw in color dye right away. And if your a candlemaker, you already know color dye is usually pretty dark. So I wasn’t able to see the debris. It was only when I had to make a batch with no color dye did I notice this. So hopefully if someone else experiences candle cracks in the future, make sure to check your wax for debris.

Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster. I have an issue and I wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue as well, I purchased two cases of igi 6006 in the end of November and I am starting to use them now. I have noticed the texture of the wax has changed and my candles are just crackling like no tomorrow. Gone is the sticky and slimy texture that comes with igi 6006. This batch is rock solid and smooth and very hard to cut. I have attached photos for everyone to see. Any advice or help would be much appreciated. I bought this batch from Aztec Candle supply.
