islandgirl Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 WOW.. I remember when Greenleaf was advertising the 70/30 wax on this board and was offering free samples to people to try.. I think a got a free 1oz sample of teakwood too...Sorry to hear it is now being discontinued...Maybe you can start mixing your own 70/30 blend of soy and paraffin.

Grumpy Girl Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 You can buy greenleaf's 70/30 directly from the company that they get it from in Dallas. The name escapes me at the moment but I have a slab of it out in the shop still in the box so I'll look tomorrow unless someone here knows who I'm talking about and can chime in. They have both the 70% Paraffin and the 70% Soy.When I spoke to their rep for a sample two years ago he volunteered the info that they were the supplier to greenleaf. Personally, I think the wax is crap and I blend my own with different %'s that I think is WAY better, but what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I will say that I loved GL 70/30 soy/par wax but with the price of shipping, wax, etc....I began to blend my own. Right now I am doing more of a par/soy blend. I got half way thru re-testing my scents and found a better soy than I was testing with so I am at ground zero again. However, what I just found for my blend has been the best combo I came up with in years.So long story short..lmao...I agree with Grumpy do you own...

LeeAnn Carlton Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 I definantly know this batch is CRAP! I have 3 cases of it! When we first started with it...I really liked it! Beautiful, had no problems wicking or scent throw!( then we ordered more) And now I have some not so nice words for it! I know one thing when I find which one I want to go with I am sooo ordering bulk and same batch numbers! Thats one way to hurt your buisness real quick...puting out candles made from a sorry batch! Thank the lord I figured this out before our fundraiser oct. 1st. Anyway I think IGI 4630 and 6006 is local...anybody like this wax?

LeeAnn Carlton Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 I guess that is one way to do it! just need to find which soy and parrifin! LeeAnn~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I love 4630 but hate it alone. Its a good wax IMO to blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Ford Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I am sorry to hear that some of you have had bad experiences with our wax. I am also sorry to hear that Green Leaf is no longer carrying this wax. They did a great job promoting this product. While I will be the first to admit there have been 2 or 3 batches that were outside the norm...over all - the product has remained very consistent for many years and hundreds of thousands of pounds of production history. We still have a large user base for this product and do have not plans to discontinue it. Interested parties can contact TN Candle supply. I am available to answer any questions. My toll free number is 866.400.0921.I hope this clears up some of the confusion.Brad FordClarus Speciatly Productswww.claruswax.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ordered 70/30 in a while so not sure what happened on the last few batches but overall I was completely happy with this wax. My only reason for ditching it was PRICE! Holy crap it got expensive. I'm using J50 now mainly because I can afford it and pick it up local but it doesn't adhear well...I had the temps down on the 70/30 and it always adheared perfectly...I miss that!

FunFlames Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I guess that is one way to do it! just need to find which soy and parrifin! LeeAnn~I tried 6006 with 415 in a few different combinations.... it was ok. I then tried J223 with 415 and liked it so much better. I ended up with a 75% 415 - 25% J223 and am quite happy with it!HTHP.S. I found 415 to blend better than Ecosoya pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Can anyone tell me what they like in their para soy blend wax? I am testing CD's and have not tried LX yet. I have tested a new wick called Ultra but the 3.0 size is too big and burns the 8 oz. square mason jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I just visited GL's site...did I miss something? They don't say anywhere that it's being discontinued...like I said, unless I missed it .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I never checked it out. wonder where she got that from then. Actually, I use the 50/50 and the CD 12's seem to be fine in that so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debk Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Never tried them. So they don't mushroom or have black smoke? cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlames Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 DebK..... I like getting the long lasting burn of the soy and less soot but not having the frosting. The small amount of paraffin makes the candles really beautiful and creamy. They look great after a burn too.It is also very easy to work with. I have not found making my own blend to be an issue. I did try the 6006 but the paraffin was way too high for my liking and after trying both blends (6006 & J223 with 415) I found the J223 to be more of what I wanted in my blend. I use CDN's with my blend. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debk Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have some J223 and soy 415. I will try 70 % soy with 30% J223 and use a CD12 to start with. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
