hotmama2700 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have been using J50 for several months now and I am most comfortable with it leaves a nice creamy finish. My question is all my J50 in the past has been very soft and white. I ordered J50 a few days ago and it came yesterday and I noticed it was a bit harder and more ivory than white. I tried the J223 (which is what this is reminding me of) and it made all my candles look like they had lines running horizontally around all my jars. So I began using my "J50" wax that I received and it happened again. Now I am wondering is there more than one J50 out there or did they send me the wrong stuff. It says Honeywell J50 but I always order AstorJ-50 is there a difference. Are these lines wet spots because the tops of the candles are smooth with no lines. I am using 12 sided jars if that helps anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grannyscandles Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 It sounds like you are experiencing jump lines from your jars being too cool when you pour. Try warming your jars slightly.As with any wax, every batch is a little different. The j50 is known for its inconsistency and that is one reason I stopped using it.

hotmama2700 Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thank you for your suggestion I started doing them cooler because I was getting wet spots doing them hot, warm, whatever but as I have experienced and reading from here wet spots cannot be helped. I started warming them again last night and it seamed to help but not all jars were warmed because I made the wrong fragrance and had already wicked my jars so I did not want to put them back in oven. Would this hurt to put them in the oven wicked in case this would happen again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
