This wax is one of the best waxes we have used and our main wax. We have already used up about 5 - 45lb bags. The wax comes in pastilles and is easy to deal with, however, take note, it is very sticky and soft. The pastilles stick to everything. We got one of those hard plastic scoops and we keep the wax in a plastic storage container.We heat to about 190-200, pour, put on our magnetic stirrer, pour FO at 185, and let it mix until it cools to 165 then pour. We get smooth tops every time.Note: This wax pulls down kind quite a bit. So you might have to smooth the tops a little bit. Not like soy where you have to fill in sinkholes and such. Just a quick run over with the heat gun to fix the pull-down. The ones in the photos have been run over with a heatgun for like 10 seconds.The scent retention and hot throw at 10% is phenomenal.Unless some holy grail of wax comes by and takes this off its throne, we'll be using this. Highly recommend!
