@TallTayl Hahahaha, it is more technical than most people. it's also more technical than most people think it is.
I haven't been on this page in years, yours is the only name I recognized.
I'm working on production for my first show in 18 months. My wax was discontinued, sold, re-made, and costs more than $40 a box more than last time I bought it. I was fully stocked for Spring 2020 shows, so I mostly have to melt my melts, add new FO, and repour. Thankfully I have about 25lbs of wax left for anything else I need to make. I go through about 200lbs of wax a year in only 7 shows. The prices of wax are making me seriously consider closing shop after more than 20 years.
I'm looking at new waxes, trying to decide if I'm going to buy and test, or sell everything and quit.
Looking for advice on pillar wax from seasoned makers. What do you suggest I test?
