Sallykate Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 This is a new one on me! I am making candles for a fundrasier and was on my fifth box of j223 when my daughter cut into it and a large pocket/bubble burst and water poured out of it. There was more than one pocket like that too. About a week ago I posted a question about caverns and tunnels in my J223 contianer candles since I have never had them before. Now I am wondering if this has something to do with it? :rolleyes2 I called Mike at Candlescience and he said that the manufacturer cools the wax in water and sometimes it leaks into the wax and causes this sort of thing. He is promptly replacing the whole box and throwing in a sample of IGI 4630 and some wicks to test with it for free! I though that was very nice of him and very proffessionaly handled. He highly recommends this wax and said that the J223 is up in the with the manufacturers as we all know. So since the j223 might be discontinued, I figured I might as well start playing and testing another container wax.Anyway I have a deadline to meet by next week so I am panicking!Anybody else ever had this happen??

Jeannie Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yes, you can see the water in the pour pot it will stay on the bottom. Don't pour the last bit in. I ran into this problem about 5 years ago with IGI 4786. It does happen but that is great that they will replace it for you. I had bought mine from another candlemaker so I was stuck with it but IGI did end up replacing her whole pallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillgunter Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 They are great, I order from them. I live about 5 minutes from candlescience, so no shipping costs for me. That sucks that the wax was messed up, I guess it happens from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 You really are having a rough time with this fundraiser. Sorry to hear about the water problem. haven't had that happen yet. I'm on my last case of J223 and need to decide what to do - order more or try a different container wax. Just hate to make a change this time of year. Hope things start looking up for you.

tx_bckrsn Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I have had the same thing happen with Taylored Concepts New Container wax. I had never had it happen before but it makes sense that it can. It just sucks this time of year to wait on replacement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaW Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I had a new case of 4786 and when I started chopping up a slab out poured the water. Shocked me. By the time I was on the last slab I didn't notice anymore water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
