Is palm wx the same as ice wax? Why was the name change I asked myself before I bought it. Tough to work with as it is a hard dense wax that I found only suited for containers. This company sometimes runs a sale of this product and it's worth a try at a discounted price.

I'm not happy with this wax melt. It looks like sugar texture. I prefer the flake texture. It melts in clumps and when it re-hardens it's very blotchy

As someone allergic to soy and beeswax naturalCandles are hard to find. This wax has been easy to use and made exploring making candle fun. Just wish is wasn’t out of stock 90% of the time.

So I LOVE this wax, I love the way it turns out and the way it burns, but overall it is not necessarily an easy wax to work with. It has a significantly higher melting point, which can be difficult to remove it from your pitcher when you melt it down, and it can cool quickly if you don't pour it super hot. It doesn't tunnel much, it makes really beautiful effects on the pillars I use it for, it is solid and holds its shape so beautifully. I will absolutely continue to buy this wax for as long as I make pillar candles. It holds scent well, but does need a higher percent of fragrance than soy wax. Overall, its awesome.

So let's talk about some palm wax...This kit comes as advertised so no complaints there. The wax is FEATHERING not crystalizing. It will still get a unique pattern when it cools and makes for a fun looking candle but is no where near as impressive as some of the crystalizing palm waxes available (Nature's Garden palm container wax is a dream compared to this stuff both in appearance and ease to work with).Let me say this is not a super friendly beginner wax like soy. It's not melt and pour. You'll end up with massive internal air bubbles if you do that. Compared to other waxes, including other palm I've used, this wax has a massive amount of shrink as it cools (which results in the air pockets). All that said, with some research, effort and trial and error it will make beautiful candles.Tricks to using this stuff in containers:- Heat your container in a low oven (set to warm or 200*) before you pour wax in to it.- Don't just get the wax to its melt point to pour. Get it hot! Like 200-210 degrees hot. A double boiler and candy thermometer would be good to pick up with this kit. Getting the wax hot helps get air out of it and really the main reason you want to is pouring at higher temperatures will give you a better crystal structure (unless you want your candles to be heavily equiax and look kind of like packed sand).- Pour your candle, SAVE SOME WAX FOR A SECOND POUR AT THE END THAT WILL BE ENOUGH TO COVER THE TOP SURFACE and put the candle back in that warm oven. Turn the oven off before you pour and just let it stay warm and cool down with your candle in it. You want your candles to cool as slow as possible, again to make those crystals look pretty. I've also found things like beer coozies work quite well to help keep the container from cooling too quickly. Get creative.- Tend as much as you physically can. As the surface of the candle hardens break it up with something (I use a chopstick). You'll notice there's an air pocket under that surface and breaking it up as it cools let's the air out. I usually repeat this every half hour or so until it's nearly fully hardened. You'll end up with a crater in the middle of your candle after all this tending from the shrink of the wax as it cools.- Remember that bit of wax you saved? Remelt it and again get it up to 200* or so. Pour the wax to refill the void left from air and tending just up to the original fill level. You can go above that level if you'd like but it will be very noticeable in the final product as the crystal structure will differ.- If you happen to have a top surface that isn't the most uniform , hit it with a heat gun to hide whatever sins are there and level things out.- I use essential oils to scent my candles. 5wt% fragrance oil is a good target but be warned that with all palm waxes many scents just don't seem to work. As the candle hardens scents will change and sometimes manage to disappear all together as far as you can smell.Sorry this is so long, these are things I wish I knew when I started playing with this wax so I thought I'd share the learning.
