right off the top of my head....Cinnamon Bread Pudding, Iced Lemon Danish, Maple Walnut Fudge, Pumpkin Milkshake, Old Town Bake Shop, Cuppy Cake and I love their straight Pumpkin as it's not overloaded with spice. There's some spice but not "in your face" like most Pumpkin scents tend to have. HTH I am still somewhat new to MS myself but haven't been disappointed....by their oils.

yeah burping the blender or tapping the mold on the counter after pouring usually worked for me. Sometimes it didn't. I don't think air bubbles are a big deal in a soap. your soaps look great! I love the simplicity of them.

like sticking your nose into a bag of marshmallows....lol....if that helps. Sweet, creamy and vanilla-ly

It's more creamy and opaque when poured yes but it still gets that paraffin look when burned....if you know what I mean....lol....that glossy, soft, shiny translucent look.

I don't...lol sorry

That I couldn't tell you ...I stopped using J50 and J223 years and years ago. I think in 2010. LOL

I used the J50 years ago and don't have any left but TCMS has it which is also in OH so shipping shouldn't be too much? https://thecandlemakersstore.com/igi-4636-j-50-wax.html

Finickiness (has to be stirred to 105.2 * whilst stirring counterclockwise while reciting a poem to the candle deities?) For me it's hot throw, glass adhesion and (ease of) wicking Also....and this is a big no no for me personally........texture of the wax itself. I absolutely cannot work with a wax that has a "slimy" soft texture. I get so grossed out that I could barf. I have tried. I have tried many, many times. And I recently tried again with Coco 83. I know some ppl praise the soft "butter like" waxes for the ease of be able to cut them with a knife....but for me it's not doable. I much prefer clobbering a hard slab of wax. It's therapeutic. I'm weird.

That is why I decided to just use two waxes. Back to basics. I have plenty of experience with them and know exactly what needs tweaking. It's easy to jump on the "flavor of the month" bandwagon when it comes to waxes and FO's and I admit I was intrigued by Coconut waxes but after testing 3 of them I am severely disappointed. Even soy didn't disappoint me that much. LOL

It absolutely is. High hopes....major let downs. I'm back to basics with waxes (only 2 waxes for me from now on....one for candles and one for melts) that are available from numerous suppliers. No muss, no fuss. Simplicity is what my jam is. LOL

Not for me either. I am done testing Coconut waxes. Back to basics for me. Everything seems overblended and overpriced.

Is that Mottle Container Wax? If so what wax is it? TIA.

I use (and love) Zincs and for a Jelly Jar I mostly use a 44-32-18Z (sometimes one size lower 44-28-18Z depending on the FO) Square Masons and Salsa Jars I use a 51-32-18 The only time I ever needed to use a 60-32-18 was in a Wide Mouth Mason Jar. They usually catch up the hang up when burning down in the jars Love Zincs! Did I mention that? LOVE THEM. LOL

I'm going to pass on it as well. I am at my limit of "wax collections" and don't need anymore laying around.

Can't say I'm looking fwd to testing but alas I have no choice...lol I got mine from VCS. We'll see how it does and how it compares to my previous wax. On a side note....I see ASO now carries a Coco Soy too. UGH. LOL

I just ordered Coco83 to test. From my research and super snooper endeavours ...I concluded that it is closest to my previous wax. Wish me luck. Ugh. LOL

I wish I had NOT read this bc I am still in the market for a new wax and with Fall around the corner I am stressing big time. LOL

if you're looking to destash some HMU please

Ahhhh ok. I knew about the para soy just not the straight paraffin. But....DIMPLES...and the only thing I found that works to get rid of them is to blend it. UGH

Yeah the dimples is what turned me off with 133 when I tried it years ago. Is 133 only available from RE? That would be another turn off for me personally because I just got burned by a supplier discontinuing the wax I was using (and loved)

Exactly! Yet they made it seem like it's no big deal. Look up the video.

Hasn't for me so far. Adhesion is great for me with the PB 600 and also 464. I love the throw from 6006 but on it's own...the wetspots are too much for me. I have been testing some blends with it. BUT....BUT....I am kinda sick of having to buy multiple waxes. Especially with prices sky high not only for wax but shipping as well.

About time!! I saw it yesterday afternoon when CS posted the article. Already there's a huge uproar. The numbnuts are arguing that Candles & Supplies made a live a while back and "proved" that nothing would happen. BTW they lost my business that day. Promoting putting flammables on candles for the sake of more sales (as in wax sales for them)....nope, I'm out!

I just don't have any luck with them. No matter who the melts are from. They just don't work for me. *edit to my previous reply....the Yankmee warmer is a 12 watt not 20 watt. I was half asleep. LOL

Not right off the bat....seems to me that any blends with soy need to get good and hot in the warmers I use. I prefer hotplate warmers. I CANNOT stand light bulb warmers and will never recommend them. The best warmer I have ever owned and still use is a tiny Owl warmers from Yankmee. LOL It's only 20 Watts but man that little thing works like a charm!! I have to say....all waxes that were available to us just 10 years ago have changed. Nothing's the same anymore.
