------Original Message------ >Surely there is no honey in foundation? Yes I first noticed it when melting down like 40-50 pounds of scrap foundation, I saw this oily substance on top.. well this past week when I was extracting I went to render my cappings and found the same thing, definately not honey & water. The first batch rendered did not have the oily substance in it. When I did the second batch of cappings It was there at that point I realized that while I was extracting the second batch of honey a frame totally broke up so I through all the comb from that frame in my cappings holder, so when I rendered those cappings(the second batch) there was that oily stuff on top and im possitive it was from the foundation that was at the base of the comb that I threw into my cappings holder. so thats why Im upset that this stuff is in my good cappings wax and I cant sift it or anything Im going to have to make a candle with it to test it... Just bugs me.. I hate impurities in my wax :) > My thoughts. Old Chinese foundation. There were reports >of >adulterated foundation being imported. Is it possible that this >is >some of it? very possible... now to figure out what it is...and how it will affect the burning of my candles...
