leashaann Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I bought a box of wax from a supplier who will remain unnamed and it had water between each slab of wax. No water damage to the box. Should I be stuck with this wax? I'm boiling the water out but I don't really have time for this crap; the weekend is getting really close. Has anyone else had to deal with this?

amachs03 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 yep! I called the "noname" company myself and complained and it did no good.....they said that was normal....Good luck to you and hopefully you'll have a better outcome than I did!

MeAndMyPuppyDog Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 In that case... name the name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Why name the name? The company did nothing wrong. If the wax comes from or you live in a warm climate, there will be condensation between each slab. The cases aren't airtight you know. Happens to me ALL the time. Especially during warmer months. I use 3 different waxes and all of them do this. The container, votive and pillar wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I almost always have water in my 223 & sometimes 6006. When you seperate the slabs, just let them dry out & let the water drain. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big deal, just give it time to dry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleIt was J223 and I was able to work around it. Hopefully it won't be too common b/c it does slow the process way down. Thanks again to everyone who offered advice. I just needed to vent a little. I melted the wax in my presto and poured it out, leaving the water on the bottom in the pot. Worked much faster than boiling it out.

gingerinarkansas Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 My J223 sometimes has water in it too. I just separate the slabs and let it be. I keep mine in big plastic containers with lids. Just sit them upright when you separate them and sometimes while melting you'll hear the crackling and popping...that's water too.
