70/30 wax

[FunFlames]

DebK.....

I am laughing....

I guess I have been in the sun too long...

I thought you meant what properties of the blend did I like.... not which wick!

Oh well I guess I should pay a little more attention. (or stay out of the sun)

[LeeAnn Carlton]

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 ....

I spoke to them directly that is what they had told me. LeeAnn~

[LeeAnn Carlton]

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!

HTH

P.S. I found 415 to blend better than Ecosoya pure.

Thanks a bunch! LeeAnn~

[Debk]

That is ok funflames, I like to know the properties too. that helped.

Leeann, if they told you that on the phone then it must be true. they just have not let others know on the net which sucks.

That does suck for chandlers who would like to load up on wax since it is the start of the busy season..

And.. For those that were not fortunate enough to see this post.

And.. For newbies who buy to try and then find out it is discontinued.

I would be ticked if they were my supplier and found they were discontinuing the wax, and chose not to inform me !!!!

You think they would put it in a newsletter or notify current users..

I am going to test the 4630/464 mix at 50/50 soon. I have to wait till after next week cause we have to move again this week. (DH is in construction)So I have to wait to order my 4630 till next Friday.

I spoke with Brenda from GL today and they have NOT made a decision if they are going to discontinue the 70/30 wax. If anyone knows Brenda she does an excellent job of keeping her customers informed on what is going on.

So with that being said, they did say if they do decide to stop carrying the wax they will send out the appropriate notifications (emails, website notice, message boards, etc).

At this time, the wax is still available for purchase.

Hope this clears a few things up for some.

I appreciate the heads up on this thread that I got. We have NOT decided to discontinue the 70/30 but we are considering it. I think anyone that knows us will tell you that we would never leave customers hanging. If we decide to discontinue the wax, we will always have a plan in place to take care of any users that were buying it from us.

All waxes can have inconsistencies that have to be dealt with from time to time, soy products being more prone to such issues IMO as not every soy crop turns out the same therefore the oil used to make the waxes can vary from batch to batch.

The 70/30 is a good product and we have had some very happy users and some not so happy users but that is why there are so many types of container waxes on the market. Some batches of the 70/30 were definitely more troublesome than others, which Brad was always informed by us of such issues and took care of them as well as he could. Many times GL took care of you with no assistance but we figure that is what we are here for.

Please, if anyone has any questions on this please contact us and we will be more than willing to assist you.

Thanks

Brenda

I do know David and Brenda, We personaaly deal with them for our wax and Jars! David informed me monday they had NO more 70/30 in stock and did NOT know if they would be getting anymore in. He gave me the number to there supplier! David and Brenda ARE very nice people. It was my right to to be looking for other wax due to what I was personally told.....So there is NOTHING to be cleared up! We spend alot of money on our jars and wax with them. And at this very moment we have NO wax...untill his supplier gets new pallets in! and then we are going directly through them...thanks to david keeping ME informed! Thanks, LeeAnn

[greenleaf]

LeeAnn is an excellent customer and we would always take care of them. We are currently out of 70/30 and in discussing batch inconsistency issues with her, we did tell her the only way to get the consistency is to buy a lot of that batch of wax that is performing to the level that she likes. In deciding that she wanted to look at a pallet, we gave her the information to contact the manufacturer since we really can't give hardly any price break on a pallet - once again, trying to take care of her, our customer. (He is not our supplier, he is the manufacturer.) She needs a consistent batch to take her through the holiday season and we felt this was the best way to take care of her.

Again, we are currently out of 70/30, as we had just sent the last case to another customer when LeeAnn needed some, but have made no decision to discontinue this wax.

Thanks

Sorry YOU are having a bad day. I did not direct my post to you. It was put out there in general. Back up.

There are things to be cleared up as the other members in this thread are under the assumption that the wax is being discontinued.

Again...no need to get your panties in a wad. My post was a general post to the thread. If it were intended for YOU I would have quoted the same way you did.

Brenda, I wasn't bashing you guys, never said you didn't keep your customers informed. All I said was the truth..what was told to me...We needed wax you had none in stock and did NOT know if you would be getting any in. Yes, you did not leave us hanging as I mentioned you guys gave us a number. Not sure what all this is about...we are the ones with no wax..sitting ducks. I told david we wanted to order bulk...pallet bulk! You guys didn't have that option....nor does the supplier you refered me too...but in a week they will. What is this forum for? I needed help to find a wax compared to my 70/30. Sorry if you guys took it the wrong way. Wasn't to bash or start a problem it was to get us wax A.S.A.P....! You guys have always been awesome help...all that being said...we still have to wait another week, or start blending our own...and I think we are just waiting...because we DID like the 70/30 so much! but who knows, we are not the first to have to change directions midstream. Have a great day...LeeAnn~

Okay..actually I thought that was what the quotes were for...so other readers know what the heck your talking about. Wasn't directed to you....like you said it was for the general public! Bad day...NO! Just stating what I was told! I AM A CUSTOMER AT GL TOO! If my panties were in a wad...rightfully so...we are the ones with NO wax! ..SO SORRY TO WHOM EVER GOT AFFENDED FOR ME SAYING WHY I NEEDED SOME HELP ON WAX DIRECTION! I thought that was what the forum was for! LeeAnn~

Thanks Brenda!

[greenleaf]

Didn't think you were bashing us LeeAnn I think somehow something got misconstrued (more in how David came across as he tries to talk when he is doing 15 things at once) in the conversation you had with him. Believe me - I've been chewing on him since I started reading this thread

You are correct in that we don't know when we would get any as the information we gave you is the manufacturer and if they have no stock in Dallas then there is none to be had unless you go to another one of their other suppliers (which I think he posted). Since they are the manufacturer they control the stock that is available for anyone to purchase. Let me talk to him in the morning and see what is what and we will let you know.

As for everyone else, please know that we have not made the decision to discontinue the 70/30.

Thanks

This is correct mizbizzyb and thanks for that. However, we are currently out of stock of the 70/30 and working on getting more

LeeAnn -- have you considered the GL 30/70 blend? I had gone through a few cases of the 70/30 & really liked it, but just couldn't take the price increase. I did a little reading, placed a few calls & decided to take a leap of faith & ordered 2 cases of the 30/70. It's the easiest wax I've ever worked with & required very little change to the testing I had already done w/ 70/30. I've eliminated all additives, it colors beautifully & has an amazing hot throw. I've eliminated all double wicks, have gone down 2 wick sizes in all candles I make, have almost doubled my burn times & can actually get a perfect burn from a 12oz Metro. I honestly have no complaints & love this wax.

[Tizimarezie]

. . . but have made no decision to discontinue this wax.

*faint* Whew!!

I love this wax and don't want to have to test all over again with a new one.

Thanks Susan. When it first came out I dabbled alittle with it. got to be honest, I didn't want to change so that was that.( I really like my 70/30 and price changed wasn't moving me) But I am currently testing the 30/70, we will see what comes of it. LeeAnn~

HTH

P.S. I found 415 to blend better than Ecosoya pure.

Sounds like your dabbling with the same wax that I have been working with. I am having issues with my 415 wax. It just seems like I should have a hotter scent throw. I just tried the wick change same jar wax color and the only difference was the wick. One was a lx and the other was cdn. The cdn didn't have as much scent throw as the lx so last I tried adding FO at 185 instead of the 150. If this doesn't make a change I'm thinking I need to add prafin or add the 70/30 blend to the 415 and see if that works better. My candles look and burn awesome, I just think the HT should be better than what it is,

[Debk]

Started using the 6006 wax with the 415. Great together. Nice scent throw.

[Judy, USMC]

Started using the 6006 wax with the 415. Great together. Nice scent throw.

Getting some 6006 wax in a few weeks. Mind sharing the ratio you are making?

[coffeebean]

I just ordered Victory blend/6098/R9798 and some J223. It will be here tuesday, I hope I have better results blending this. I did try pouring in the FO at a higher temp 185 and it made no difference at all. I use 415 with 1/2 TBS pp and 1/4 cup pb votive blend and my candles looked perfect and burned great. The CT was awesome but the HT wasn't the way it should be. I have an open floor plan in a cape code home and I had 7 candles lit and didn't smell them unless I stood over top of them. There are some fragrances that did throw well but not as mant as don't so I'm going to try to do some more blending here again.
