TallTayl Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Recently several fellow chandlers have noted the latest SP487 smells weird and does not look the same while cooling, or after cooled. Swans candles has/had a note on their site that there was a possibly “bad” batch of sp487 that was being corrected. I’ve been playing with, liking this wax. Please don’t tell me this one’s gone toes up too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hive and Honey is carrying the SP 487 now, they just got a batch in and the owner has assured me that it is the correct formula- the bad batch had one wrong ingredient in it.. it smelled horrible, but I found the smell undetectable in finished candles and it performed as it should Here is the website https://hiveandhoneycandleco.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few fellow chandlers familiar with sp487 got new samples of the granular version direct from S&P, and smell the off note. One is noting cooling and set up issues. It is so frustrating.

Terry Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Good Morning! Could you please make a recommendation on a wick type and size for this wax? Using a 12 oz. status jar? Thanks 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not yet tested any other series in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellajoan Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Is this wax worth the jump in price from 464? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't care for it as a stand alone container wax personally. It's crystalline like container palms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 It’s not really a container wax. You won’t like it. Additive it’s okay, it my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
