Toms94 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I bought a container of Americana Wax very shortly after it came out, like the very week it was available. Within a year the plastic container itself started to, for lack of a better term, deform. The bottom of the container bulged out and before long the top started doing the same thing. Now I can hardly get the top screwed off or back on. Did anyone else have this happen to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ1o87 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yes. There's a thread about this problem somewhere. I believe they're making a new container for Americana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 We've found that the containers do bow or flex over time... if it becomes an issue please take advantage of the 110% guarantee. FWIW - my first tub (which recently was finished off -moment of silence- ) was stored indoors from day one and never had any bowing issues. Seems the plastic and combination of the hot poured wax is more susceptible to temp changes than anything else we've ever made... the worst of the bulging tubs have turned out to be ones that were exposed to higher temps.

xlr8rvette Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have two tubs of Americana. One is 1/4 full and the other is 9/10 full. The first has always been in the garage and the nearly full one is in a drawer in the kitchen. I have never had a problem with either container other than when the first one was about half full the Americana would spin when putting it on the applicator. No problem with wax Great stuff !!

Toms94 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks guys for the replies. I have no problem with the product, just the container. Mine stays in a cabinet or in the basement, never exposed to high temps....at least not while in my possession. I just may call and talk to Ashley in the next day or two. C6Bill also PM'd me a possible solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight1700 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I have two containers of Americana that I had to break the container open. I have a third unopened container setting on the shelf now and will prpbably have to get into it this season. I love the wax, but if this container gives me the same problems as the other two, I'll probably have to hunt down another quality wax. It's a shame that a good wax reputation is being ruined because of the container it's put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing Adam is going to do, is let you go somewhere else upset. He'll make this right. There's probably a fine line between too hard and brittle and too soft and pliable.
