I bought fifty pounds of Harmony Blend 4630 Wax from Lone Star.
I also bought fifty sample bottles of their scents.
I have poured candle after candle using that wax and their oils.
More often than not, the finished candle is beautful, except that the oil has settled to the bottom of the jar. Looks like water sitting there. It's actually liquidy.
I contacted Lone Star and they sounded surprised. They told me to turn up the heat on the wax. I did. I even tried going lower.
I finally decided their oils were not suitable.
So, Friday, I poured three one pound candles using Nature's Garden oils, which always work fine.
Here it is Sunday, and the oils are almost completely settled to the bottom again. Actually one is totally settled.
What in the world is going on with this wax?
It's beautiful once it sets up. It's kind of like a soft Crisco in the box.
Not at all as thick as Joy Wax.
I have wasted so much oil, colors, wax, and jars that I can't even believe it.
Any ideas on this problem will be appreciated.
