leashaann Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Please don't tell me to do a search on this because I'm sick of searching. I'm just curious but I used comfort blend last year and just switched back. Is it less "vasalinie" now or is it just the cold weather. Also, I did a search on this too but found nothing. Does CB seem to end up with more air bubbles that the other waxes?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmejeffd Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I've been using this wax for over a year now and haven't noticed any change. It will feel softer when it's warm and harder when it's cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leashaann Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ditto!I searched; That's why I said I'm sick of it. Sometimes it's hard to phrase your keywords to get good results. Never know which words were used for what. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitlyn c Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I understand your frustration. I think the cold weather makes it seem a little thicker. Searching is a pain but most people in here will tell you that. I dont think anything has changed. Not that I know of anyway. If you find out anything different, please post!

Aunt Bee Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 4627 is actually manufactured in two different locations and there is a slight difference in the appearance and texture although the burn and throw are identical. I order by the pallet and request a particular lot number when I can because the only difference I can tell in a finished candle is that the more yellow, softer "vaselinish" version produces a deeper color and I like to have it for my batches of reds at this time of year. On the other hand the type you have now produces a firmer candle. If you order by the case, pay attention to the batch number and location on the box you have now.BTW the last discussion of any sort on this subject that I've seen was years ago on the old TSR so I don't think you would have ever found it in a search. Back then we chalked it up to just different batch runs on the production of the wax and it wasn't until I questioned a distributor that I was told about the difference.

leashaann Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thanks for the info. I just thought it would be nice to know so I'd have a better idea of where to start with wicks. The last time that I used it, I had to scoop it. This time, I was able to slice it into blocks with wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitlyn c Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Leashaan, I have found that cutting with a big knife is much easier with this wax. Hope this helps you. Still doing testing myself. Good Luck!!!!:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leashaann Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks to everyone who commented on this. I thought I had enough experience to make this wax work this time but I guess I was wrong. I'm getting really ugly air bubbles and I'm not talking about wetspots. It's as if they're working their way to the glass after a few days. I guess this wax is just so viscous that it holds the bubbles while it cools.
