Michi Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 What wax did you get the pillar or the container wax? How do you like it so far? Come on girl, we need waaaay more details than that! Like how's the coloring, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 I got the container wax and the straight pillar and preblended pillar wax. I have poured the container wax already. It colors like a charm at least I got the orange that I usually have to fight to get. I will post pic in the gallery when I have all of them poured.

sudsnwicks Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 What pour temp do you use for their container wax, and is it really a one pour or did you need to top off later? Thanks for sharing, I appreciate the your advice as I plan on getting this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 I won't know for sure till tomorrow if it is a one pour but right now it sure looks like it. I poured today around 155 but not sure if this is right or not. It is easy to cut and color and the wax itself is white compared to the off white of the 6006. I will keep everyone posted as I go through the testing of this wax. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondk Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 I posted a pic over in the gallery of the container wax with information there. I will be making a pillar out of each of the pillar waxes today and will post pics when they are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Breanna or anyone who has used the pillar blend - What pour temp would you suggest for it? Is this a one pour also?I noticed their catalog said the pillar blend can be used for votives as well. Has anyone tried it for votives yet, and if so, how was it?

diamondk Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 hey suds, the pre-blended pillar wax you pour 175 - 185 and during cooling you poke relief holes and then when ready you do your repours 10 - 15 degrees hotter. There isn't a pillar wax that I know of which is a one pour. I just finished up my pillar waxes and waiting to take them out of mold when ready. For the pre-blended I poured at 175 and 2nd pour 185.

sudsnwicks Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Thanks, Diamondk! You'll have to excuse my ignorance on pillars - I don't do those and didn't realize there wasn't a one pour for them. I might try their pillar blend for votives though, unless they have come up with their own custom votive blend by the time I order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 suds, that was a good question and I think that was ask at one time when I started reading on the board. They will have a wax for votive but I don't know when it will be posted on their website. I am waiting for that to appear so I can test that and compare it to the 4794 that I currently use. The preblended pillar is nice to work with but you may have to poke little holes in those too I don't know for sure since I don't use the pillar wax for votives. I might have to try that out though.

sudsnwicks Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Oh okay, so there will be a votive blend coming. I might just have to get one of each to see which I like better for votives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachelle Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 You're welcome diamond. I really like the appearance of the Performance container wax. It's a bit less opaque than some of the other container blends which gives it a real nice glow.The votive blend will be on our website early this week.
