Jenn A Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hi,I was wondering if there was a place that I could just get like 2 or 3 lbs of different waxes instead of 25-50 lbs?Thanks so much,Jenn A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 You can sometimes get 2 to 3 lb. samples of soy wax. With paraffin the sample size is considered to be one slab, which is 10 or 11 lbs. What are you interested in, and in what part of the country are you located?

scrubzz Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Almost every place I know of that carries wax have either 10 lb or 11 lb slabs or bags (depending on what type of wax it is) - but here's one I did find that sells smaller amountsKeefers Kandles - http://www.keeferskandlesandsupplies.com/I have never ordered anything from them so know nothing about them other than their prices on the larger amounts (cases) is a bit higher than others I have found HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you could consider http://www.candlesupply.com. I don't think anyone will sell you less than a slab of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawyer's moon Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 You can also do an ISO post in the Classifieds with the particular wax you're looking for. I've done this and I've also responded to others iso posts and sent them a lb or two to try.Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beauloser Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 earlyamericancandlesupplies.com will send you as many 2lb. samples as you order as long as you pay shipping...luckily, they are within driving distance of me, so I visit every once in a while and pick up samples...I've got at least 3 different waxes waiting to be sampled(it's a good problem to have:cheesy2: ).HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
