KY50/50 vs Farmhouse50/50

[lsbennis]

I have never used Farmhouse 50/50 and I'm currently trying KY 50/50...my question is what is the difference between the two...KY is $54.95 for 55lbs and Farmhouse is $63.75 for 55lbs what would make such a difference in price?

I would like to know too, I am dying over here w/ Farmhouse's increase...however, I LOVE the wax...I am wondering if it may have to do w/ the quantity she is able to order from her manufacturer, as opposed to KY-maybe she orders smaller amnts. and therefore pays a higher price herself???

BTW: which 50/50 are you testing from KY? I couldn't tell from her descriptions which one you had...

Yep, not pleased with the price increase myself! If I recall it was a good increase too, like $9.00 maybe? I love the wax too and don't pay shipping, so even with the price increase I still save because I don't pay shipping. Sharon, have you gotten any recently? My last batch seemed more firm than the others. It burned the same, but I had alot of cracks and I spent HOURS fixing them with the heat gun.

I'm using the KY-Para-Soy Container blend and so far have had good results with it. It says to pour into heated jars but I have not done that and it doesnt seem to be a problem. I was using CD wicks with GL 70/30 blend but for some reason I like the Zincs better with the 50/50 and so far good hot and cold throw with all the same FO's I was using with the 70/30. Perhaps it is just a quantity issue and KY may be purchasing in larger amounts getting more of a discount...I dont know...maybe I should get a sample of the Farmhouse and see if I can detect any differences.

Deb, sorry, forgot to answer your question; I really haven't gotten any since July, I am very small potatos :embarasse But I am needing some now, and I am rebelling against the cost increase!!! Don't wanna spend that much, but I guess I don't have a choice...
