PamR Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I am so surprised that the selection of pillar waxes (plain parafin) are becoming so scarce! I'm in NE Texas, & all but 2 of my suppliers have discontinued carrying anything except the blends. I still have to blend my own to get the mp I want. Has anyone in Texas, Ark, Okla, Or Louisiana had wax shipped from Candlewic? I know the shipping is awful, but wondered just how awful it might be, lol. I'm getting desperate!Pam R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Have you looked at Bittercreek South? They are in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Aztec has lots of straight paraffins. http://www.buywax.comCandlewic shipping costs might still be worth looking into. They have some good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamR Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 yes to both of those. They are my current suppliers. But I still have to blend their waxes. The 1343 is too soft, the 1313 is too hard, so these I mix to get just the right mp. Unfortunately, I can't get the price break on 10 cases buying like that. I think I'll check out candlewic or gen wax, even tho the shipping will be atrocious! ThanksPam R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksPam RAre you not making just regular pillars, why do you think it's to soft?I use 1343 with additives and get 120 hour burn on a 3X6 pillar.

The harder wax would be ok, but leaves too much wax unless I use a rope sized wick, lol. I love the 1343 for everything else.Pam R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
