Scented Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I think it's only wicking. You could ask them though. They may only make you pay shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katesmom Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi Henry, Last winter they sent me 3 1 lb. samples of 3 different waxes of my choice. I think they were their blends (CB , etc.) and the palms.Not sure if they do it on the J waxes. I am not finding a link for samples. If I remember correctly, I just sent them an email with addy info and sample request. Try that or give em a call.Annmarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 I asked them right after I placed my order and gave my ref number. So, we'll see, I hope so because I bought the equivalent of at least a case of wax (bought slabs of a few kinds) and a couple other items - and I just didn't want to buy slabs of the other couple as I was going broke! I knew they did it for wicks, wasn't sure of the wax - and it was after business hours so I just ordered and will hope for the best.Thanks!

Sharon in KY Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I have gotton samples of wax in the past. If they don't show call them or email Bill. It's not always a no from them like some others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachf19 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 When I was first starting out I sent them an e-mail to see if they would send me some samples... Bill was awesome, they sent a couple of different ones- their CBL-141 and CBL-129. If you've ordered, I'm sure they would be greatly inclined to send samples!

eugenia Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 They've sent me samples of different things over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Very happy! They sent samples of CBL-125, CBL-129 (I didn't want the 130), and also J50, and J223. I think I bought a slab of every pillar wax they have as I want to work on mottles - plus I don't know the FIRST thing about paraffin container candles so that should be an experience.I imagine there is tons of info on J50 and J223 so I can search for that. I see IGI is calling them 4636A and 4633A. If I wind up liking one or both is the IGI wax the same?Anyone use the CBL container blends though?

rachf19 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 HenryK,I used my sample of CBL-129 w/ Peaks Pink Sugar (1 oz pp) and let me tell you this thing THROWS!!!! It shrunk quite a bit, but no wet spots or anything. there was a thread not too long ago about the CBL-129... I'll see if I can find the link for you.I've also got some J223 that i got off the classys here... i've only mixed it w/ soy, not tried it on its own yet. it seems like a great wax to mix w/ soy so far.Don't know if any of that helps, but i do try!Edited to add: Here's some links to previous threads:http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26130&highlight=CBL-129http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21490&highlight=CBL-129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Thank you very much Rachel!In going to the posts I realized I did read them before - I am only concerned about the 129 pulling away from the sides - I used to use a soy wax that did that and I didn't like the way the melt pool clung to the sides when cooled - but the rest of the candle pulled away. Maybe paraffin doesn't look as bad when it does that? I wouldn't know. (Actually, this is why I didn't get the 130).Guess I'll just have to try it - sounds good on paper!
