Here's some info from the NG website:

Petrolatum is added to wax to increase its oil content and make it creamier so that it will adhere to containers. This also aids in reducing the wax melting point. We use 1-2 oz. of crisco shortening per pound of single pour wax to achieve a better scent throw. We have found that the crisco works better in some container waxes than the petrolatum does. If you would like to achieve a mottling effect to your candles, add 3 Tablespoons of mineral oil per 1 lb. of wax. Pour at 160 degrees, and do not use a water bath to cool the candles.

i tried it in 1945 i think since it is all ready a mixed wax it did not seem to help.but in a high melting point wax it helped alot. i added quite a bit to it would have to read to no how much tho.i do jar candles most of the time.

I use J-50 and get a kick azz throw using it AS IS. It is a preblended wax and why anybody thinks they need to add more stuff is beyond me. If your FO's are quality FO's, and your container is wicked correctly you should be getting a great throw also.

I get a kick azz throw also with my J50,but me I am always looking for something a little better.
