pixie Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I have bought my palm wax from candlescience in the past but I see they no longer carry it. Nu scents does not carry it anymore either. Where do you get your palm wax from (glass glow)? I am familiar with Peaks but am looking for other options. I live in the midewest btw. If there is a supplier near Illinois, that would be great!Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I've been getting mine at Aztec (Knoxville, TN I believe). It is the new Britz Wax that IGI has started using after the debacle with the quality control issues with the old supplier. It is pretty much exactly the same as the old wax, haven't had to adjust the wicking that much. And looks pretty much the same.http://www.candlemaking.com/store/Glassglow-Container-Palm-Wax---Case-R2322-P2326C42.aspxCheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar_lea Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I've gotten some from Peak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Peaks has been a good source for palm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Get mine at Aztec too. Cheaper for me than ordering from Peaks. I also get the Britz company GG palm. It works the same for me at the Asa Sumi GG or whatever their name was. But I kinda like Britz better. Can't say why the difference in each brand is almost imperceptible. But the flakes are a bit smaller or more compact and slightly heavier. It seems whiter to me and smells fresher. The burn is identical and the coloring is consistent. Time will tell if they keep product consistent from batch to batch. Thats the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallwhitedogs Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Just ordered a slab from Peak to experiment blending with 464. After hearing of the previous issues, I wanted to order from a dependable company that I could trust to rectify any problems. Not that Aztec isn't, but I have never ordered from them before. So, I thought I'd order from a company I knew would have my back if there was a problem. I should place an order with Aztec, just to check CS, and the product line.

Wessex Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 When IGI had the issues with their palm wax, Aztec was very good at fixing the problem for me. They informed me that they had the new Britz wax coming in and would replace all the bad cases with the new wax on their dime. CS was very good. The only problem I have with Aztec is they include a box/handling charge on smaller than pallet orders. This really irritates me, but it is still the cheapest option for me. Palm wax does not come in slab form (that I am aware of), so if you get a "slab" of something, it is not palm, LOL!Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallwhitedogs Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Well not sure what form it will be in, guess I assumed it would be a slab. (There's that ASSumed again!) I just ordered 10-11 lbs to play with. Will have to do a search on Aztec FO's, since I certainly don't have enough around here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 After the CS problem I was getting mine from Peaks. Then they raised their prices about $10 per case. YIKES! I am getting low and will probably try out Aztec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomara Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I am testing the palm waxes with Taylored Concepts. The pillar blend looks to be feather, and their container looks to be glassglow. They are called Robnat wax. Taylored is local for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brudil18 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I get mine form Candles and Supplies in PA. Not sure where they are with IGI's new supplier though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are called Robnat wax. Taylored is local for me.I just checked their wax and the description says it produces a 'crystal' like appearance. This sounds to me like its crystal container palm and not glass glow. I have never seen glass glow described that way. I always see it advertised as glass glow. Are you familiar with both types of palm? When you get your wax can you clarify for us which it is. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Peak's website they describe their GG having a "crystal like appearance" as well, so I would assume they are similiar. I am not sure if Taylored is the same, but the wax is very pretty and does produce crystal/icicles. Throw is good too. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yes but they say its Glass Glow palm. Taylored Concepts doesn't say which palm. Thats what I mean. It could very well be crystal container palm which is much different than glass glow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomara Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 ok, thanks. I will have to read up more about the waxes. I wanted to try it because it was local. I might have to get a sample from peak and compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariablue Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I use Bitter Creek North; http://www.candlesupply.com/ I find their wax prices to be significantly lower then several of well known vendors out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mparadise Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 BCN only carries palm pillar (feather & granite). Glass Glow is a container wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
