Lin Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Well i tried the pillar to and watched it slowly crack while still in the mold. Back to the drawing board. I have allways liked a challenge and i sure have it with soys,lol. My bf allways knows how to keep me motivated, saying just chalk it up as something you cant do, knowing i wont give up after hearing a comment like that,lol. I will not be defeated so ill get back to everyone once i get this down. Good luck to all who!s testing. Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lin Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Ive tried several temps and the darn pillar still keeps cracking and i even added bees wax and still cant get it from cracking. I sure hope jason pops in to help. Sure hope more people are testing the pillar wax and hopfully someone will help us all. Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yes,,you think by now GB would give us some temps since we have all tried different steps. I know Peaks is selling the GB so I went to their website to see what pour temps to use for the 444 and 449,,But Darn it anyway,,they are not selling the 423,,,I have a local supplier for the GB415 Plain Soy and she also sells the 423 BUT she doesnt have the pour temps either,,Im so FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay Im done venting,,thank you,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverflower Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hi Breanna, I poured at about 150-145, and can you let me know your supplier that sells it, by the way im just making tarts with it. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Well ive about given up as ive tried temps from 200 - 130 and havent had any luck at all with the pillar. I added bees wax and also tried a water bath as it suggests on the gb site and that didnt help either. I have one still in the mold i put in the oven to keep it from cooling to fast and im finished. Ive tried so many things my sample wax is a mess now. If the last one is any better ill let you all know. I hate to admit defeat but with this wax i guess i am. I just dont know what else to try.

Golden Brands Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hello everybody, I would like to thank all of you for your feedback on the GW423. It seems that this wax needs to be re-blended. We have had this wax back in the lab for a couple of weeks and it seems that we have narrowed the problem down to a couple of things. Now it is time to make some pillars and burn, burn, burn. Do you all hate testing as much as me? Lol. Anyway, I will post on this board when we feel comfortable in the new blend and will be more than happy to send all of you fresh samples. You have all been great help and I appreciate your time and opinions. The following distributors are carrying our new container blends. Makes Scents CandlesAt Wix EndGateway Food productsMillcreek CandlesWix-N-WaxPeaks Candle Supply I will be in touch soon with the reformulated 423..
