I melted this wax in a double boiler made from a saucepan and cereal bowl, and ladled it into a cheap flowerpot from the dollar store. I am absolutely thrilled with the results.
The wax melts fast and clean, with a very mild, slightly savory scent. It's yellowish when melted, but it hardens to a perfect snowy white. I made a test candle with some Gulf paraffin from Walmart and had some serious contraction problems as it hardened (leaving a big divot in the center), but the soy wax didn't seem to contract nearly as much. The surface finish was smooth and attractive.
But the real test came when I lit it for the first time. I get three perfect, clean, uniform flames from the three wicks spaced 2-3 inches apart. They make great melt pools, which eventually grow together after 30-45 minutes of burning. The flames are stable and strong even in windy conditions. The success was probably partly attributable to the good wicks, but the wax is definitely doing its job. The candle doesn't put off any appreciable scent (unless you put your face right down in it), which is exactly what I wanted.
Misc. notes: The wax flakes came shipped in two separate non-resealable five-pound bags. The bags were inside another bag, which was inside the shipping box. I didn't have any of the open-package problems people are experiencing. The price for the 10lb quantity is amazing at the time of this writing. It's just about the cheapest wax you can find, so the quality was an extremely pleasant surprise. I figure I can make nice candles for my family for Christmas, since they would all appreciate lack of scent. All told, I have enough supplies to make probably five large three-wick container candles, for less than $30.
Echoing what others have said, this stuff is probably too soft for freestanding candle types.
Forgive the artsy picture, it was the only one I had at the time.

I heated the wax up to about 190 to 200 using a candy thermometer. Took it out of the boiler and poured into a Pyrex measuring cup which cools it faster. I add my color if needed. I add my fragrance at 180 degrees. (If it cooled down below 180, heat it up again in the microwave in 30 sec increments until it reaches 180. 180 is the temp that the fragrance will mesh with the wax and maintain it's scent. Use a digital thermometer for quick readings for the fragrance pour and container pour) Mix well with a wooden skewer. Pour at 145 degrees exactly for good results. And it comes out great if you don't touch or move the container after it's poured. I've learned, messing with it or moving it after pouring could cause some issues on the surface when it cools. So pour in a place where it's out of the way and it can sit still.
This wax says it can take up to 15% fragrance. I misread that when I started using it only using 12%. But it still throws great. But for sure I will try 15% now. lol
Over all, I see people having all kinds of problems like I was. My advice is to use this 444 soy wax, get a digital thermometer, get good concentrated fragrances that are really potent and get a scale that weighs in ounces and and can "tear" (Zero out the weight of the pot or measuring cup on the scale so that it will only weigh the new liquid being poured in). Guessing the wax to fragrance ratio can mess up a potentially good candle. So, calculate everything!! You will be glad you did cause you will get the most out of the wax and fragrance. If your candle container holds 8 oz, measure out 7 oz of wax on the scale. The 1 ounce is your fragrance which will make it 8oz for your container plus that little .05 that the wax allows itself to hold.
7 oz (wax) x 0.15% (fragrance) = 1.05. 1.05 is the fragrance that you will measure into your 7 oz of wax at 180 degrees. if you want to use a full 8 oz of wax then times that to .15%. (1.20) Just make sure your container can hold over 9 oz. If not, have a "left overs" wicked candle container to pour in. Once you fill it with left over wax, you go a new mult-iscented candle for the house. :)
I hope this helps point you in the right direction. It took a lot of researching and messed up candles to get decent looking ones. I too am still perfecting this craft. I just wanted to pass on what I learned.
Happy Candle Making.

It weighed 9.01 oz
Just call it 9lbs of wax if that's all you're selling.
I thought the fragrance oil was a problem and I kept reducing the amount of fragrance oil added. But the problem is not solved. I finally bought another wax and made it, and it was perfect. This wax was the problem. How and where this wax was made is also unknown. With this wax I wasted my time and expensive fragrance oil. This wax is rubbish and garbage.
