glittergirl Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ok, I hate to mention this, but, I am having a major problem with this wax. Keep in mind, I have used this wax since it came out, a few years ago. My problem is, it is much "whiter" than it used to be ( my last 10 cases) therefore my colors are off somewhat. Another MAJOR problem, is does not seem like a true "one pour wax". All my candles need to be topped off. I usually buy wax from LS, but this time I ordered it from AAA due to cheaper shipping chgs. What a time of the year for this to happen?? Have you had a problem with this wax? Another problem, the apple cinnamon strusel (NG) is NOT throwing at all. When I tested this scent I could smell it literally all thru the house. Ok, please respond And thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 A few of us have been experiencing issues with NG oils lately so it could be the oils and not the wax.As for the 4630, I get mine from alabastard and haven't noticed anything different.

coconut Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 How hot are you pouring your wax? I had the problem with topping off when I heated the wax too high. If you stay closer to the melt point it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglover Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 There have also been reported problems or differences with J50 and IGI4794. The suppliers report there cannot be a difference, as the waxes all have to be made to specs. However, we as candlemakers are noticing differences...sometimes huge ones, with color, texture, melt point, etc. I don't think it is your fragrance supplier, as I use fragrances from MANY suppliers. It is the wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The issue is your wax probably came from a different IGI plant. You will always see significant differences between the Texas, IL, Pa and Canada plants. The recipe is "supposed" to be the exact same but it is not. They all get their raw materials from different parts of the country therefore the end product will be slightly different. If you call them about it I guarantee that they will tell you to send a sample for them to test and it will come back with the result that it's with-in specs, which I might add you could drive a truck through.LOL HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it will help you any, call 'em. Mike or Todd (Oops cant remember their dang name) will tell you the plant they purchase from. Heck, if they cant tell you the freakin plant they purchase it from then they dont deserve your $. ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
