bfroberts Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 New waxes at The Flaming Candle. http://www.theflamingcandle.com/paraffin-wax/I'm especially interested in the Pro Blend 450 to replace 4625 because it's granular, which means no more rock hard slabs. Anyone know anything about this wax? Here's the info for the ProBlend 450, which is supposed to be similar to 4625. C&P from TFC site: ProBlend 450 Paraffin Pillar WaxNeed case quantities?
