comfortscents Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I'm interested in changing waxes..anyone know of dist who will send out free samples to try? thanks!!!! Quote
LRC06301983 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I don't know about free, I'm sure some do, but usually a wax distributor will sell a one pound bag of a type of wax for a dollar-ish so you can make a couple of sample votives to try it out... Quote
comfortscents Posted January 19, 2006 Author Posted January 19, 2006 I actually have 2 ten lb bags of wax that Cargill sent me, to be honest I've always used pre-blended wax and this cargill wax requires additives so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to need to add to this...I keep staring at the box thinking divine intervention will tell me what I need to use..lol..

Dustpuuppy Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Astor used to have a thing on thier website where you register and get a coupon or voucher or something to get a slab from one of thier distributers. I think you had to pay shipping. Don't know if that's still available, though. Quote
Scented Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Just ask the suppliers. I think there are quite a few that will send samples if you just pay the shipping. Quote
Gypsyjen Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I actually have 2 ten lb bags of wax that Cargill sent me, to be honest I've always used pre-blended wax and this cargill wax requires additives so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to need to add to this...I keep staring at the box thinking divine intervention will tell me what I need to use..lol..Are you using C-3? Cargill C-3 is a blend of soy/veggie waxes and does not require any additives. As a matter of fact I think all their waxes are this way. Who told you it needs additives? Quote
BACKWOODS Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Honeywell did send samples, but they just referred you to their distributors and then they wanted you to pay shipping. As we all know IGI bought Honeywell so I don't know where that stands...I would bet they still do. Quote
Meredith_D Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Enchanted Lights has sent me samples of their soy. Quote
JudyN Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Enchanted Lights - can you give me their website? I did a search on google and they did not come up. I see that you are in N. Cal, are they close to Cal? I'm in S. Cal. Thanks!! Quote
Meredith_D Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Enchanted Lights - can you give me their website? www.enchanted-lites.comI e-mailed them and the guy (I think his name is Jim?) was very nice and sent me 3 different samples. :smiley2: They are wholesalers and have a distributor in California.

ChelleRie Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 The store in Florida that sells Enchanted Lites also sent me free samples, wonderful lady, but sadly I did not like the wax! Quote
Scented Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Try Alabaster (I know they do), Morris Wax (might do it), maybe even Astorlite, which was aligning requests to other businesses. I'm sure there are others out there. Quote
beauloser Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Early American Candle and Supply(Allison Park, PA) will do free 2lb samples if you pay shipping...they are completely free if you show up at the warehouse. Quote
Paulette Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Candlewic will send you samples. You can get 1lb of 4 different waxes. Just email them. they will also give you samples of wicks Quote
The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Green Leaf Candle Supply will send you a free sample of their wax blend and it is NICE ( They also include a smaple of their FO AND pay for the shipping) Can't get any better than that! Quote

greenleaf Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 What is Green Leaf Candle Supply website? I did a google and couldn't find them. ThanksHi Paulette,You have to do an advanced search and type it into the "exact phrase" to find us through Google. Our web site has only been up for just a few months so I doubt that we have a very high ranking yet. As a couple of people have responded - it is http://www.greenleafcandlesupply.comThanks for your interest!BrendaGreen Leaf Candle Supply Quote
