ah-soy Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Just wondering if anyone knows what company manufactures the SB 7505 from GL? I really like this wax and assume I can now get it at JBN since Greenleaf has closed, BUT I would like to check around and see who else carries it...but all suppliers seem to rename their waxes so it's takes some detective work. I like to use a wax that I can get from several suppliers so I don't get stuck when one closes down.

Gypsyjen Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I believe it's a Clarus wax, but not absolutely positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks Gypsy, that's what I thought and called them on Friday after GL announced closing. He told me that it wasn't them . I know they used to supply them with the 70/30 so I naturally assumed they were supplying the 30/70 (which the 7505 supposedly is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Huh, well I'm glad you called so now I know too! Good luck in your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 You might try Clarus Stasis 3020. Maybe see if they will send you a slab and test it. My experience with wax mfg is that they never reveal customers that they "special blend" wax for. The same wax is under a whole lot of different names but its no different. I think this is the wax you want but I don't know a distributor. HTH.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks Chuck, I have tested Clarus 3020...it's a nice wax, but I like the 7505 better...seem to get a better burn and no wetspotsI add coconut oil to it and to my mind it really helps with throw and believe it or not, the co seems to control the schrooming with my zinc wicks! I originally thought the two waxes were the same so mixed them together and the difference in adhesion between the straight 7505 and the mix is amazing. By the way, I called JBN and was told their 9900 is the same as GL's 7505. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The 7505 had good adhesion initially but soon it got lots of little wet spots that eventually took over the whole container. You mixed those two waxes together and got a good result? Hmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yes, by mistake I mixed the 7505 and 3020 together thinking they were the same wax. What I meant was I like the 7505 alone much better (I add CO to it). The accidental mix produced tons of wet spots very quickly and my wick results were drastically different. I pulled some of my older 7505 candles, stored in boxes and still have little to no wetspots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
