For a paraffin container wax, we recommend trying IGI 4630.

Paraffin Container Wax (MP-117) is a high-performance, single-pour container paraffin wax that results in creamy, semi-gloss candles. Previously reserved for large manufacturing companies, we’re excited to bring this unique, fully refined paraffin wax to the handcrafted market. Featuring strong scent throw and minimal shrinkage, MP-117 works beautifully on its own without additives or blended with other waxes.

Candle Maker's Notes:
Paraffin waxes tend to have darker soot over soy when burning. If you're experiencing excessive soot, we recommend testing different wick sizes, or double wicking in larger containers (3.3"/8.4 cm diameter or larger). Additionally, too much fragrance oil can also cause sooting depending on the fragrance oil. We’ve found that reducing fragrance load to 6% is plenty strong for most fragrances and helps to minimize sooting.

NOOOOOOOOO let's not do this. Ive spent so much time perfecting my blend with this wax. I finally get to a million dollar mix and you guys are talking about discontinuing? This is hands down the best wax y'all carry. It just has to be used right. Getting rid of this is a bummer. At least provide me with the supplying company that you use. OMGGGGGGGGGG NOOOOOOOO

NOO!!! WHY???

Hands down, MP117 has been the best Wax with almost no issues (after experimenting with pouring temp) for my more complicated molds. It has smooth surface and burns very well, lasting burn time with proper wick, and both CT & HT is perfect. PLEASE, PLEASE, keep this wax :( I just began using last summer and spent all this time experimenting and perfecting.....If keeping this was in supply is not feasible, can you suggested another that is compatible.

Thank you and as always, love doing business with Candle Science.
