    Anyone using C1

    in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making

    Posted

    I couldn't find one on the site, I tried filling out that sales rep contact form 3 times and it doesn't do anything. I'm going to call the 800 # tomorrow to try to get some answers.

    Please either post or shoot me an email. Things are hectic for me this week, so you will probably talk to them before I will. I just want to find out if the C1 has palm or is all soy.

    Am I dreaming??

    I maybe should've have been more specific. I am not using C1, I am just wondering if anyone is, and would recommend it. I wasn't aware this was an old product, all I know is its the soy/palm blend? Can anyone recommend it?

    Hi Sweetscents,

    Now, I am confused. earlyamerican candles and cajun refer to the C1 as "SOY". gen wax has a C1 that they consider "NEW as 80% soy 20% palm. EA refers to their C1 as Naturewax. I would assume the other 2 from cajun and gen wax are Naturewax products as well, since they carry the C1 name.

    Anyone have a clue???:confused:

    Private Branding, Secret Formulas...

    I have to agree with alot of the above posts. IMO if a supplier is selling straight GB415, C-1 , etc than just state that they carry that. The supplier may lose some biz, do to the fact that no one wants to retest the same wax.

    They on the other hand, will gain alot of repeat biz, due to the fact that alot of candlers are close to them, use that brand and will buy their 415, C-1, etc. from them.

    Really, with all the peeps that state for instance, BC ezsoy is GB 415, why don't these suppliers just state this,if indeed it is true.

    Now if a suppliers wax is a proprietory blend, well then state that fact as well.

    O.K. Off my soap box now!;)

    Hi! Stephanie,

    Do a search, alot of peeps like the IGI 4794 wax. I have never used this wax, but if memory serves me, it is used for votives and tarts, where the OK6228/1 can be used for pillars as well.That may be a deciding factor on the wax for you.

    Early American Candle Supply and Tri state have the 6228/1. Morris wax(dpswax) also has it on sale right now, but they are in IL.

    mold on wax

    in General Candle Making Discussions

    Yuck! Doesn't seem normal to me. I have both of those waxes. They are each at least 6 mo. old. The 6006 is stored in plastic in the flat rate box it was mailed in. The 70/30 is in a rubber made. Never had that happen with any wax. Even my J223 is fine and I have the last few slabs stored in the plastic it came in. These are in my spare bedroom.

    Since you stated the area was cool and dry, I would est. it would not be from humidity in the air. Maybe water/ too much moisture in the wax itself.

    Sample size jars

    They are the 1.5 oz. I know they come in 12 sided, hex, and someone (don't remember who) had the round ones (mini jelly jars). Those were called sample jars. Really! :D They all have the gold (some white) twist lids.

    Check around, alot of places have them. Fillmore, WSP, Early American,etc.

    Plea to suppliers about wick packaging

    in General Candle Making Discussions

    As long as we're coming up with suggestions, I would be thrilled if my wax supplier would put the wax in some type of bag before it goes in the cardboard box. The first and last slab always have bits of cardboard that embedded into it that I have to pick out or scoop out of my wax when it melts. Drives me bonkers!!! So if we could add that to the petition too ;)

    What kind of wax do you use? Every brand of wax that I ever bought was bagged. I feel your pain. ICK!!

    Has anyone purchased from this site lately?

    I have been trying to purchase a few molds from them for over a week and the site does not have a button to complete the check out.

    I have also tried to contact them using their contact button with no response.I usually would just say forget it and move on, but they have 2 molds that I cannot find anywhere else.:cry2:
