Nope! I guess they're not monitoring their feedback form.
I work more on the production side, so I did not respond to your question personally, but I do recall it coming in, and seeing a response sent out. It may have been sent to your spam box.

Short answer is no, we do not rate this wax for candles. While there is no issue with rated printing temperatures, when taken above 200°C it starts to burn. Breathing in combusted materials is generally not a good idea. It may work, and what is released in a single wick candle may be too minuscule to notice, or cause a problem, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Ah, that's too bad. The commercial potential for 3D printing candles is immense! I hope you'll check back with us if you ever come out with something more like straight up paraffin wax.
