Ramr Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 In my box of acquired candle paraphernalia is a bag of white granular stuff the label says Sheen-Tex wax hardener and conditioner. I have Googled and come up empty handed as to what this stuff is. Is it stearic acid? Is it Vybar or Polybar? I did find one article that mentions it, written in 1972 for Mother Earth News and they mention the cost of wax being a whopping 15 - 17 CENTS per pound. Scandalous! This article says it is a wax hardener and that it is very costly and that stearic acid is a more reasonably priced alternative. Has anyone heard of Sheen Tex and what do you know about it?

Pam W Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Never heard of it but I am very careful in the additives I use.......like Vybar if used to excess can lock up the scent......if you can't get a good description of exactly what it it, then I'd suggest you don't use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
