Scentedmoon Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hello Everyone!First of all, it's been a while since I read this board, its nice to be back!Secondly, I have a problem and I need some help....I moved earlier this year and I lost my notebook where I kept my wax information, so I have been struggling to collect this information again. So far, I have been somewhat successful. I'm missing the working/pouring temptures for Astorlite Q, PQ, and F waxes. And I have looked everywhere on the web, and can't seem to find any information that I need. (And yes, I am aware they do not make these waxes anymore, thus the reason I haven't been so successful in finding the information that I need.)So , I was hoping that someone might have this information written down and would be kind enough to share it with me. I just need to working/pouring temptures for each wax. And also, does anyone know if you can make pillar candles from the F wax? Isn't F usually used for voltives? Thanks santa big ~Scentedmoon~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryk Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I have saved the info (pretty sure I have the all PDS type info in it) from the Astorlite site for those waxes (and others) before it went down a while ago - if you want it, you can PM me with your email address.
