This Is Some Weird Wax!

We have been using soy wax to make candles with terrific success, but decided to try the Hyoola Yellow Beeswax Pellets. Unfortunate decision. This wax is strange. Here's the story .In the first photo, showing three small candles: The cups (i.e. tins) were perfectly round before pouring the wax into them. As the wax was setting up, it deformed the aluminum cups, so they are no longer round, and most developed cracks. No bueno.The second photo shows a couple of problems with using this wax. In the small cups, we experienced "tunneling," which is when the heat creates a well in the middle, but leaves the edges solid. As a result, some wax (10%) is wasted. No bueno, again. The same problems happen with larger cups.An additional problem is that this wax is extremely difficult to work with. That is, it's much, much more difficult to wash wax residue from pans, jars, and tools. It sticks like glue. And the candles we made with jelly jars are impossible to clean out and had to be discarded.We had such high hopes, but it ended with total disappointment. Fortunately, we can return to soy wax, which behaves as expected.Altogether, no bueno. We won't be ordering beeswax again.

Pros
  • Na
Cons
  • The triple filtration process may strip the beeswax of some of its natural nutrients and properties, reducing the effectiveness of the product for certain uses
