mrs_scurry Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi Everyone, I am a newbie and I keep seeing different waxes but I'm not sure where you get them from, what type of wax it is or anything. I have seen J50, J223 and a lot of others. Can someone tell me what type of waxes these are and how well they work for you? If you have a resourceful website that I can see the information about the different waxes, that would be great too! I am using the NG Joy Wax for my containers but I am learning about different products so that I can test out what would work best for me! Thanks in advance. Oh, also what are the different wicks the look like 34-40z? Are those codes or sizes? LOL I am trying my hardest to figure these things out but looking at the suppliers it doesn't really give much information about the numbers! ThanksVeronica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Those are Astorlite waxes- more info can be found here:http://www.astorlite.com/The website will tell you what wax works best for the application you are looking for. There are a TON of J users on this board. The wick numbers are the sizes (thickness/length) followed by the letter which usually indicates the prime material used or brand of wick. I'll have to look for the wicking comparison chart~ it escapes me at the moment but I will post it once I find it.This isn't a real extensive chart- but I will post it anyways.http://www.rusticescentuals.com/wickchart.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs_scurry Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Thanks a bunch! I will check out their site. I guess it is a good wax to use since there are so many that use it...LOL! Thanks again and I will definitely be waiting for the wicking chart. That would be a great help for me! Veronica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
