Henryk Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Do you find 6006 a one-pour? Just started testing this and so far, for me anyway, its not. Slight dip at wick. If it is for you, can you help?Also, if you've tried more than one of the IGI veg/para container blends, which one tends to me more of a one pour? How about the Astorlite blends, any that give you a perfectly flat surface most of the time?Thanks very much,Henryk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 6006 is a one pour in my travel tins and square(cannister) apothecaries. It does get a dip at the wick in my hex jars and regular apothecaries(also jelly jars when I did them) I just hit it with a heat gun. I think it would be a one pour if I didnt fill it up into the neck..it just doesnt look right to me if I stop at the neck..I like mine to appear "full" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 When I used to test this wax in hex jars, it was never a one-pour. Haven't tried any other veg/para waxes to give any other input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtngrl Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 6006 is touted as being a "low-shrink" wax, which is not the same thing as a "one-pour." Close, but not quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 I got that information at http://www.igiwax.com/downloads/pis/6006.pdf under "product description" and "benifits".I'm sure I'll never achieve optimal conditions though at my place.

scrubzz Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I got that information at http://www.igiwax.com/downloads/pis/6006.pdf under "product description" and "benifits".I'm sure I'll never achieve optimal conditions though at my place. From that site -"IGI 6006a is available in 50 lb. (27.2kg) cartons (slabs) or in bulk liquid (tank truck or railcar)"Wonder how may candles you could get out of a railcar?
