Fern Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Has anyone tried the J225 Super Wax yet? Just got a newsletter from Candles and Supplies and it said:Astorlite® introduces the latest and greatest scent wax on the market! J-225 is a premium wax blend that holds more scent than any other wax. J-225 also allows the candle maker to use fragrances that, until now, have been off limits or considered to be of limited use because of fragrance leakage. J-225 has superior hot and cold fragrance throw, is a smooth creamy one pour and has excellent jar adhesion so there are no wet spots. Try your most difficult fragrance in Astorlite® J-225, you will find that it does not leak. If you want your candles to be stronger than anything else available - USE THIS WAX!Type: ParaffinMeltpoint: 120 degreesPrimary Use: Container candlesPackaging: 10-11 lb. slabsWick Suggestion: Zinc, paper core, Heinz corelessRecommended Pouring Temperature: 180-190 degreesInstructions for Use: Heat wax to 200 degrees. Add scent and color and let wax cool to 180 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breanna Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 HI,,I tested it when they were offering free samples and LOVED it,,,Im so glad its on the market now,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 That wax is just too expensive for me right now, so I'm not going to bother testing it. Maybe if the price comes down. I use J50 and it works great. I also did some serious testing on 4630 and 4627 this summer, so I'm not quite ready to jump on the "new-wax" bandwagon right now, lol.

BACKWOODS Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 How much more is it? I use J-50, but that sounds interesting, not to mention my supplier just raised J-50 up 8 bucks a case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyJ Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 A several months back, I tried APOP wax from Alabaster. APOP was supposed to be the best of J223 & J50 and the description of APOP sounds just like the J225. Does any one know if it is the same wax with just a name change?

Breanna Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I just emailed and asked them,,will add to this after I receive a email back,, Alabaster never returned my email so I would say NO its not the J225,,,I will keep looking to see if they respond in the next couple days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyJ Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks for checking. If it is the same wax, Alabaster has it cheaper per case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezin Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yep, just too expensive to test it out. Goodness, I think what I pay now is a lot then shipping for me is about 40.00 a case. If they were smart, they would have made it affordable and then one they sucked us all in, they would have raised the price ....LOL. Isnt that what usually happens?

shafferbuns Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I emailed Early American Candle and asked about J225.This is the reply I got,The cost for an 11lb slab is $19.00 plus shipping &handling. That is what is considered a “sample”. If you want a case of the J225 (55lbs) – the cost is $63.80/case plus shipping and handling.I guess the cost is coming down some now, I wish the 11 lb slab was a little cheaper than that tho, maybe it'll come down a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 *wishful thinking* Maybe someone could do a co-op - for 40 cases it's only $1.01 a pound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcandletarts2 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Evidently at those prices, they don't need us "little guys/gals" for sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I just think that price is absolutely crazy and refuse to buy because I will not be price-gouged. They can just keep it in the warehouse and let it rot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Good grief! Those prices make Cierra's wax look cheap! LOL! :lipsrseal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scntdwik Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I was given 210lbs of J225 from a company that just went out of business and wanted it gone but am not getting as good of results as Im seeing everyone else is.Im getting wet spots and not such a good scent throw...The supplier that gave it to me said to pour about 170, should I pour hotter?
