We have been painting candles for years with just plain old latex house paint:yay:

Try Laxtex it works great:highfive:

We did some asking around and found out it is is Bosie, ID this year next month, and we did some costing it would cost us $2000.00 to go, that's a chunk of change. Also if they have been around for 40+ years why do they have the meeting in such hard to get to places, and not in a place that is closer to a major air hub? it sure would be a lot cheaper:yay:

Who are they and what do they do:confused:

Question: What are Luster Crystals that Pourette used to carry??

We found out that they are using the same formula and the same molds, plus the color matches.

Try IGI 1343N that one will not mottle and it is a general purpose 139mp pillar wax, if you are on the WEST Coast there is a IGI Dist there in CAL and WA. 1343A and 1274 will mottle

It seems that no news is no news and we are all left wickless, with the hole that left by the lack of info from them. We understand that all his stuff is in a barn in storage with no movement, so we have had to find others suppliers out west which we have done all, except for the plastic molds, but we are working on that. We find that this has left a whole bunch of folks having to find others suppliers.

We have seen over the years companys come and go, but the effect they (Pourette) had in doing what they have done, has opened the door for all the other supply houses to step up to the plate. There are already some who are suppling the color chips that they had, right down to the same shape and color, we have not seen the plastic molds hit the market yet, but they will. but the stands and clamps have, the metal molds have been around for a while by the largest metal mold manuf. in the nation. It is most intresting to see who are picking up the mission to supply folks both out west as well in the east, to fill the void left by them.

Let it Shine has three warehouses 2 in Washington and one in West Sacramento which has will call service, we were just there and picked up some wax.

We have a few times, it looked like just plain old floor dirt, it did not have flakes of rust in the slab, just filth on the outside. Some of the filth when melted we to the bottom of the melter (no big deal) but some floated at the top (big deal) so we watch very close now, after all we did not pay for the filth

IGI 1343 is one of most common wax that I have ever used, if anyone can screw it up it's me. I find that 1343 is just a basic pillar wax, and if you got 1343A just add a little more F/O and it will mottle unlike 1343N will not. Have fun and good luck

That wax is IGI 4627 it comes in two 25lb bags in a box. As for Tarts try IGI 4694 work well, and some of the plam wax they carry also work well, I don't remember the # Have Fun

We found out by mistake, that all T-light cups are not alike. for it seems that there are a few folks who make them, one is offshore and the other is made in Can, and they (Can) makes two types one is a little thicker than the other. The thinner one turned a funny color and we could not get the thicker one to do what the thin one did, so now we request the thicker t-light cup. Hope this helps!!!:tiptoe:

Who Knows, one person says one thing, one says another, from what has been said on the posts on this site no one knows the truth or the whole story, only a swan song of comments.

This can drive a person waxy, we have seen latley that some of the F/O supplier's are cuttiing the F/O by adding oil solvent to stretch the F/O, it still smells strong but it could be cut 50%, hopefully this isn't the case, but it happened to us a couble of times

Try a paper core wick and add some polybost 130 (by s & s Chem) you can increase the F/L it binds the F/O with the 4630

We had to heat the jars and after the pour we cooled them slow. this helped

We had some when they were made by Pete R. over in Portland Or. that had to be 27 years ago? and they still were as good as the day we got them, but we had them in a box in storage untill a few years ago.

What we have found out that all have their fav/wax and what works for some does not work for some, all we can do is belive the IGI wax Co. which happens to be the biggest manuf. in North America, and we have to belive the data they have provided, we don't think they would mislead anyone. We have been doing candles since 1969 and have found over the years everone has a different voice. So we all have our views

All we know is what we are told by them, because of some concerns. when it first came out way back in the Dussex days they had also stated it was 50/50 P/S and had MSDS that stated so. All we know is a very popular bled and works very well for us in our wickless candles for both hot and cold through, but we have also used IGI 4630 and the J225 but like the 6006 the best.

A few years ago we checked with Dussex (5766) and when IGI bought them, we checked with IGI now 6006 and at both times both said it (6006) was a 50/50 P/S blend, now we know there are a lot of folks that would wish that 6006 was not as good as it is, but we don't think IGI would say it is a 50/50 blend if it is not

IGI makes a product 6006 that is a 50/50 s/p blend, it used to be a Dussex 5766 number and IGI change the # to 6006. we have used it and it is very good for both hot and cold T. It is truly a one pour

We also had the same issue from the same company, with the same answers, and after doing some checking around, they were repacking the wax that they got from someone in S.CAL, this is what the stupid woman said when we wanted a MSDS info on the wax. as to the smell they we pawning the 139 as the best wax around, but the MSDS showed it was something called "scale wax" and calling other suppliers the scale wax is the cheapest and lowest grade around and the smell is common. so we don't buy from them anymore either

Try pouring @ 170
