iammommytwo Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hi all,Just thought I'd share my test results w/you. I have also sent these to Jason. Waiting to hear on suggested temps, but couldn't wait, so I did what I found posted on the boards.I received samples of 3 of their waxes. 402,GW444,449. (pictured L-R)I used my most prone to frosting combo, and one of my favorites too.FO- Cranberry Marmalade from CS @ 6%1/4 reddiglo cranberry die chip, ea.RRD 37jars- 4oz, 12-sided.heated to 180, poured @150. I have to make my pics smaller to upload them(as soon as I can figure THAT out...lol ) I'm new to this digital camers thing.I will describe what they look like:402- looked like colored curdled milk!! but had a great cold and decent hot throw. had too deep a burn pool, so I'll wick down??GW444- a beautiful looking candle. no frost. no wet. smooth top. bad cold throw, so-so hot throw. hung up a little on one side, but nice depth to pool.449- part of one side looked like the 402, the top looked crystalized, and it had slight frosting on the bottom only. had a great cold throw and a decent hot throw, nice pool.Looking forward to thoughts/suggestions/comments.

geekrunner Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The vast majority of testers agree that the 444 cold throw sucks, and the 449 looks like the better of the two. The 402 I don't know much about, but seems like it needs some additives to make it work. If I had to choose I would choose the 449 and work on the pour temp/technique, simply due to the awesome cold throw. When I was testing the 444 against my 415 with BW I still got way better cold throw, and the hot throw was pretty close.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I didn't think both the 444 and 449 had a very good cold throw. Funny how different our noses are. I did like how they both set up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
