Does your wax have balls?


Recommended Posts

:laugh2: Users of 464 or 444, or people who have used it.... I was curious if it exhibits the tiny spheres while the non-2%-additive portion melts. Apparently, the emulsifier seems to have a higher mp. (I've melted it in some 415 before and noticed it doesn't melt as quickly.)

Anyhow, I'm asking b/c I rec'd a couple of pounds of a certain wax. Then, bought a case... which seems to exhibit a different texture, is ball-less while melting, and behaves a bit differently post pouring, and during burn. I'm just trying to nail down what stuff I may have rec'd.

TIA

I would reckon this was a male version you received, lol. As opposed to the smooth, differently behaved, ball free version. :grin2:
Also explains the disproportionate shipping charges.
I wish my wax had balls, then I would have something to play with while it melts...

Seriously, Call and ask Jason at Golden Foods.. He would know if there were issues with this wax.
Good idea, thanks. I'll try & contact him this morning. I think I found the mp of the additive. 156-162F. That would explain why it took longer for the balls to disappear... :tongue2: That is, if that was what I was observing.

Anyhow, thanks to all who responded. :smiley2:

I've never seen anything like that in my 444, but I'd love to know what you find out.
What I found out...

The additive powder is used (as opposed to the beads) for the formulation of 464 & 444. My initial experimental portion of wax I rec'd may have been one of those two. Can't be certain because I don't have any left, and had thrown away the bag it which it was shipped.

When melting flakes, sometimes they melt together and become a mega clump o' flakes. Similar thing may have occured with the additive. That may have been what I saw. Or it was many entire strange galaxies appearing in the molten for the briefest moment, only to be snuffed out prematurely by my selfish desire to make a candle.
