latch Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 can old wax matter? some one gave me a case of j223 from 2004. i poured a few candles and and burned them, well they needed to be wicked up... i just got through retesting all my jars for wick size and these did not work..i really hope thats all it is.. i think i will give up if i have to retest again.. it took me 4 months and money to test... and that was just one size, i still have 2 more sizes to test... another 4 months or so...any one experienced this with wax??thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfly Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hope I don't confuse anyone. But I don't think wax gets old. I use J223. What size jars & wicks are you testing? I'm not totally understanding your issues with the testing. (may just be me...duh LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look for your Jar,,find the wax you use then look @ what others have done. It is a very good place to start while Testing. This way it gives you some idea of what you want to acheive because each one of us may have the same wax but the wick may be different. http://server.com/WebApps/db-view.cgi?id=71493I have Also looked @ this too,,,, http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10760 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I don't think wax from 2 years ago matters either. Could be that particular 'batch' of wax.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latch Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 i have been doing this for 3 years, started off with jj and switched to tureens. just got thru testing tureens and got this batch of wax given to me and a few ive burned from this wax burned diff. like needed to wick up...just thought maybe this is what effected the burn. i will be gettin a new case soon and will just check it.. maybe its that the newer wax was changed somewhat compared to the older one... at least i hope so. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
