chrisasst Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 what do you guys recommend as a good paraffin container wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I use IGI 4786 and been using it for about 3 years. No plans on changing:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have used IGI-6006 for 5 years now and love it. It is a blend and I can use1.5 ozs per pound on scents. It is a very creamy wax. I would highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 IGI 4630-great throw, creamy, looks great, few wet spots. Can be very tough to wick though so try a small slab before you order a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpowell Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 We use the 4630 as well. Love the look, throws scent well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 For Paraffin mine is the IGI-4786 hands down:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenny Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have used the 4786 and it has a great scent throw. I now use 4630 and it has a great scent throw too. I like the 4630 better because I can slice it with a knife. The 4786 is a hard wax and since I have arthritis in my hands it wasn't easy for me to break apart.

dabbledoya Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Recommend 6006 here, too. Superior hot and cold throw, and takes color very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane42 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I have used the 4786 and it has a great scent throw. I now use 4630 and it has a great scent throw too. I like the 4630 better because I can slice it with a knife. The 4786 is a hard wax and since I have arthritis in my hands it wasn't easy for me to break apart.I am starting to get arthritis in my hands also and I found this slicer to be a great help cutting the 4630...just pressing the knife through it would start my poor little fingers throbbing. Just press down one way, press the other way and you have a nice piece of wax to pop in the melter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlelady Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I've been using Texas Candle Supplies one pour container (don't remember the #) and BCS IGI 4636. Both do really well with hot and cold throw, however wet spots galore and I just tested the Clarus 3078 one pour container and it's OUT OF THIS WORLD! Great hot and cold and NO WET SPOTS!!! I was test pouring into about 8 different jars for a new customer and it did wonderful it all the jars! Not one jar had a wet spot.HTHThanks!

sthncmft Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I've used J223 for years and love it....would never use anything else. Use this site to find suppliers close to you. Wax is heavy and shipping can be expensive:http://www.SuppliersByState.comHTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
