lsbennis Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I tried this wax...reminds me alot of Yankme wax but it is definitly an 2nd pour due to its capapcity to contract...I think it holds about 3% or 4% of fo. I stopped playing with it cause I didnt want to do repours! Im really glad you are enjoying it...it does look pretty in the container.

2rottndogs Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Michi...The mottling just grabs me everytime. It's definitely a 2nd pour wax because of the contraction around the wick as it hardens. I've been playing with this wax a bit and I've found that I can pour 20 degrees cooler than what it calls for and STILL get a great hot throw and significantly less contraction around the wick. After working with soy... I just think this wax is a fun wax to play with in containers.Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You have to be selective about fragrance oils since it doesn't hold a lot. The suggestion that you can use 1 oz pp with this wax is way optimistic I think. But it's definitely a fun wax to play with and gives a unique look.If you like the 1288B you might also like the Candlewic 2530H. The melting point is a smidge lower and it doesn't separate quite as much from the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rottndogs Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Top...I noticed that the 1 oz. didn't always work. It also depended on how hot I poured at too. The hotter it wax was, the better it seemed to hold more fo. Since I was playing with trying to pour cooler and still get a good throw but less contraction, I found that I had to ad about half of what was recommended.Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
