For a more direct paraffin pillar wax option, BB-P55 is easier to position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is BB-P140 different from BB-P130?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        BB-P140 has a higher melt point and more firmness than BB-P130. Use BB-P140 when you need more structure for molds, pillars, tapers, or firmer custom blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is BB-P140 different from BB-P150?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        BB-P150 is higher melt and firmer. BB-P140 is the middle option when you want structure but do not need the extra hardness of BB-P150.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan BB-P140 improve hot throw?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        It can help improve hot throw in some custom blends, but the final result depends on the full wax formula, fragrance oil, wick, and cure time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan BB-P140 reduce frosting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        It may help reduce frosting when blended into some natural wax formulas. Testing is required because every wax blend reacts differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat additives work with BB-P140?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Common formula-testing options include Vybar 103, stearic acid, microcrystalline wax, soy wax, beeswax, or other compatible waxes. Additives should be tested in small batches before production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should candles cure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Allow test candles to cure for at least several days before judging scent throw and burn performance. Longer cure time may be needed depending on the full blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloombay","offers":[{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":49139920503092,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lbs","offer_id":49139920535860,"sku":null,"price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lbs","offer_id":49139920568628,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lbs","offer_id":49139920601396,"sku":null,"price":40.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/5416\/5044\/files\/BB-P1401.png?v=1779998643"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/5416\/5044\/collections\/Paraffine_wax.png?v=1780024295","url":"https:\/\/www.bloombayshop.com\/collections\/paraffin-wax.oembed","provider":"Bloombay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
