babyrn Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 How long is wax good for if it's been stored inside my house in its original shipping box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 If it's paraffin, years. (can't be more exact than that) I have had soy get a funky smell to it after a couple of years and tossed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaconterraone Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) The beeswax I used for my batch of votives I'm having quite the time wicking is "old" - it sat as a block in a paper bag for at least a decade, though inside our home. "Age" came to my mind as a possible cause of my wicking difficulties. I don't know if this is an erroneous assumption, or not. Perhaps its moisture content changed, or it just wasn't filtered well by the producer.I would imagine most waxes, if kept tightly sealed (in plastic or an airtight container) and not exposed to environmental extremes (i.e., kept inside your home), will last years if not decades.
