col_adwilliams Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hello everyone.Just want to say hello to everyone. I just found this board a few days ago and must say it's now a site I check several times a day. I have been making candles for the better part of 8 years. Took some time away during and after a divorce but am back in business. Quick question... How many of you have tried or currently use the blended wax from NG named "Joy Wax"? I ordered some and using it now but I'm having a problem with wet spots and frosting in just about every container I use. Any suggestions?Thank you so much for making this site special!Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I have used it in the past, but it does change quite a bit from batch to batch. Are you heating your jars first? And make sure you don't put the lids on until the candles are completely cool.... other than that I don't know...-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredron Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The original formulation of Joy wax was pretty good, but somewhere along the line, it changed. I had wet spots & frosting also. I tried lowering the pour temp, raising the pour temp, and finally slow cooling in cooling baxes, but nothting worked. When contacted for suggestions, NG simply said "sometimes it does that".So I created my own blend.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luinousglow Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 There was one batch I used quite some time ago that was phenomenal and I thought I had found that miracle wax. The next batch I received was so horrible. They stated they were aware of it and would send me out 2 more cases and those were terrible too. After reading all the info on here about the problems people have had with this wax, I decided to call it quits. I tried them for 4 months and was extremely dissatisfiedsantacry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
