siberia Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 This wax has popped up on my radar screen. Has anyone heard of it before? I tried googling and did not come up with much. Perhaps it is a combo of soy and palm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I don't know about this wax, but At Wix End sells a container blend that they swear up and down is soy, but crystallizes like palm. There was some discussion about this on the old board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 There is one called Astorlite Q that has a crystal effect, it is the container palm wax. Candlewic also has one, and I forget if it is Palm 1, 2 or 3. There is also one out there that I am playing with on and off as I have time, that is put out by Strahl & Pitsch. It is a crystallizing container blended wax. The link below will take you to their site where you can read more about it. It is a very pretty wax. I have found that it is not a great thrower right away, but does better after curing for a bit. Not sure this is what you are looking for. http://www.spwax.com/datasht.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberia Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Thanks for the replies. I am very familiar with the palm wax brands that you mention. In fact I only use the Strahl and Pitsch palm because I find it to be the best/most consistent on the market.My OP was referring to something called crystal soy wax. I have never seen it but have recently heard about it. I would like to know if anyone has experience with this wax. Is it available from a supplier or is it a home-blend.

David Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Some people have no scruples. This has been covered very much check archive. If it crystalizes it is not pure soy. PERIOD.Some use Palm add a small % of Soy and call it crystal soy which is a LIE ( those with no conscience call it marketing).I really am sick of those who lie and deceive for the sake of a $.
