ChadM Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 That's how mine was too..then sent me a totally different lot number and no problems. Couldnt increase scent cause I'm at max now, and tried adding mineral oil also and neither worked. Not sure how the big manufacturers get theirs.

bfroberts Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 A huge thanks for the heads up @Lizzy I've been using 129 in a blend and was about to place an order. You saved me a big headache, but dang....it's frustrating. 😠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 In the pic the texture looks like spring flowers. Kinda cool, but I know not what you’re after. So sorry this is happening to you again. 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up going to the 3032(126) and seems to be working well. You can still use the 129 for candles.

Lizzy Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 This happened to me before with 4794 and it was on IGI's end in the form (too much) of an additive so since the CBL 129 is based off the 4794 I am guessing this is once again the issue. GRUMBLEFarfegnugenLE. UGH. I contacted CW...waiting to hear back. Can't use this wax. I don't use it for candles, just tarts. Frustrating.

That's what I was thinking, so I'm not rushing to order 4794 either. I would love to hear what CW has to say when they respond. Thank you for the update.

Lizzy Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Just heard back. UGH. Sorry for the trouble you are having. How much fragrance are you adding to these? We would recommend increasing the oil by either adding more fragrance the wax or adding mineral oil. Bill I don't even know what to say. I am adding 7-8% (1.2 oz PPoW) and 8% is the max FO load on this wax per listing on CW's website. I shouldn't have to run out and buy Mineral oil to make this work?

Lizzy Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 another reply from Bill after I replied to him letting him know how much FO I added. Actually can hold closer to 12 % especially when you get the ripples means can hold even more fragrance. Bill Ok. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadM Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 I already went through all of this with CW and they are the ones that recommended the 126. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't see myself buying mineral oil or upping the fo load to 12%. LOL So the 126...it says that additives are recommended? Also the fo load is 5% max (without additives I assume)?

ChadM Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 I do nothing different, same heavy fragrance load no additives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzy Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I made a test batch and upped the fo load to 10%. Much better but still a little rippley. 10% is as high as I'm willing to go. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadM Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 I went as high as 13% and it does not go away. I tried mineral oil and different temperatures you have to switch to the 126. It works just as good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadM Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 They had to have changed something in their blend because I've been using the CBL 129 for almost six or seven years and I've never had this issue until last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah S Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 That's a bummer, I just got a slab of 129 a few weeks ago. I haven't made anything with it yet. Maybe I'll pull it out today and see what it does. Do you have a softer wax like 125, or a soy wax? Sometimes I add a soft wax at a low percentage, like 5-10% to smooth out my tarts. I don't want to add much, because I like a hard tart, but a little bit can help smooth out some dimples or ripples to an acceptable level.

Lizzy Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I was able to smooth it out by using another tart wax....so at least it's not useless. LOL Adding 6 oz of my other tart wax to 10 oz of CBL 129 did the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
