SDM Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 OK, I'm not trying to be a smart-as* here, but I have to ask this. If you asked a supplier what the MP was of a certain candle wax, what type of a response would you expect to receive back? Would you expect to receive a response that the wax has a MP of a specific temp, or would you expect a response of melt the wax to 200 degrees, add color, drop temp and add fragrance, and then pour at 150 degrees? I was expecting a response of "wax "ABC" has a MP of 125 degress." Or something along those lines. Am I totally not asking the question right or what? I went on to email the supplier back with examples from other websites of what I was looking for. For example, Just Scent's JS123 wax has a MP listed of 123-126 degrees. WSP' Ecosoya Advanced has a MP listed of 111, etc, etc. The response I got back from them: The MP of the wax is 200 degrees. What the H***?! Is it me or them??? Please help me!!

SliverOfWax Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 It's not you. I would be a little afraid of a supplier who couldn't answer such a siimple question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gngrbrdmtn Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Gah!!! Nope, definitely not you. What kind of wax has an MP of 200 degrees??? Good grief!Obviously somebody at that company don't know diddly-squat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I would expect them to tell me the actual melt point and also the optimal pour temp. Otherwise buy from somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Ok, so it's not just me. This girl doesn't have a clue what she's talking about! I'm not even sure how to respond back or if I should just let it go. Maybe I'll try calling them. This is a rather large and well-known and talked about supplier also. I just can't believe the responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 This is a rather large and well-known and talked about supplier also. Seems like it would be just as easy for them to post all this info on their website. Save them from having to answer all these questions.
