Georgia Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I can't vouch for them all, but the suppliers listed are reputable. The bigger question is what kind of wax do you want and who is closest to you. There are many different container waxes (all with their own headaches, I'm sure) - different blends, soy, paraffin, soy/paraffin blend.... Shipping on a case of wax can be up around $30 - if you can find a close supplier and pick up, you will be way ahead of the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kareng Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Thank you both for your replies!I am in Oregon. I've looked and have not found a supplier near so it looks like shipping for me lol..I think I'm just going to start off with paraffin and I think I read that if I use 4786 I don't have to use additives. I just want easy for my learning curve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkysoycreations Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 In the long run finding a supplier you can drive to will save you a lot on shipping. You'll soon find out it's just not wax you'll need...the list goes on and on as you'll want to dabble more. Paraffin is a good start as I did 100% soy first and now that I'm playing around with soy blends and paraffin, it's much easier to get the results I was looking for. Good luck!

kareng Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 I was really surprised at the shipping rate at lone star. The wax is 60.00 and the shipping was like 33.00.I do have a shipment of essential oils and some soap stuff coming tomorrow from Natures Garden so I'll have something to experiment with lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
