AllisonACC Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Everyone - I have been using 4627 for about a year now. I've been ordering it from the CandleMakers Store in Cinci, Ohio. Once the prices at Candle Science went down, I ordered from there because it was cheaper all around. There seems to be a pretty big difference between the stuff from The CandleMakers Store and Candle Science! Has anyone ever had this happen? The wax from Candle Science is harder than I am used to. It has been inside my house for over a month, so it isn't the cold outside. It is still messy, but the stuff from The CandleMakers Store is more like Vasoline and very easy to scoop...the stuff from Candle Science was difficult to scoop and even as a candle is harder, less finger prints if touched, etc. Can anyone enlighten me?Thanks in advance - Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well I have only ordered it from one place and that's Lonestar but mine is like what you describe from Candle Science. It's messy and sticky but it's not near as soft as vasoline. I wish it was easier to scoop out! I didn't answer your question I know but I just wanted to let you know my experience.

AllisonACC Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks Jaime! I appreciate your feedback! Could some other 4627 users tell me if their wax is more vasoline-like or harder? If that is the case, does anyone know the reason for the 4627 that I have been ordering this past year being so soft?Thanks!Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I haven't opened this case, but the last I got was not scoopable - but I could cut it with a butter knife if it weren't so darned STICKY.Unfortunately I can't recall from whom I got the last case- prob Candles & Supplies but not sure.

evesorto Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have ordered my 4627 from Candle Science and it was the soft vaseline/fingerprint type. However, I haven't ordered it again since 12/07. My last two batches came from an ebay seller and a friend who is no longer using this wax...they were also soft type. I am bummed to hear it is less soft than usual.Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debratant Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Mine is hard also...not at all vaseline like. I wish it was because I have stength problems in my hands and trying to get it out of the bag is a nightmare. I do love it though...besides the mess.I think I ordered mine from Candle Science...

Darbla Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Crap, and here I was thinking about trying it because it's been getting so many raves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Oh I LOVE IT. Mine was simply soft sticky wax, not scoopable - but easy to work with and great results all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debratant Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I LOVE the 4627 also...it's just a pain in the butt to scoop/dig/gouge out of the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Carlton Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 the 4627 we tried was sticky and vasiline like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonACC Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hmm...I guess that I am just worried because the consistancy is different that I am going to have to 'test' it with all of my scents and wicks all over again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redquilt Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wasn't it somewhere on these forums that I read that a wax can be manufactured from different plants around the country and that yes the wax can vary some from one plant to the next but stillbe within company specs for that particular wax?It was suggested to buy your wax from the same supplier (assuming your supplier buys it from the same manufacturer consistently) and this helps to maintain consistency for the candle maker. I swear I read that here.But maybe it was elsewhere.Judy N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Is it possible the wax is mislabeled 4630? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
