Back to Wax Top I bought some wax at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Ben Franklin or JoAnne’s. What is it and who makes it?
• If you bought the slab wax with no packaging it is probably made by Yaley and its melt point is about 135 degrees. Its straight paraffin with no additives and is good for making votives and pillars (with the right wicking). You will need additives in order to get it to hold more than 4% oil. If your slab comes with Crafty Candles or some other name like that, there’s a good chance that it was made by Yaley. It should say the melting point on the packaging. It is also a straight paraffin that is designed for votive and or pillar candles, and does require additives to hold more oil. • If your wax is in a plastic box it should say for container candles. It’s either soy, gel (clear) or paraffin container wax and typically made by either Yaley or Candlewic. • Crafty Candles is a division of Yaley. Country Lane or Soap Expressions is a division of Candlewic.
