After opening the package, I noticed the bar has several areas with a white coating. Is it something expected from ingredient or should I be worried?

I think it is likely the agave, which much like honey crystallizes after a while. The bars are likely just fine, but not as fresh as they should be.

I had the same problem with a raw bar, but a different brand. Turns out it was mold starting to form. When I called customer service, they advised me to store the bars in the fridge in the future. Again, different brand, but hope I could help!

The hex bar was not wrapped in cardboard inside the shipping cardboard box. There were little pieces on the ends of the bars but they looked like they got dislodged during shipping. Both ends of the bar had punched holes in the shipping box. Even then, there were only some minor scratches on the very end of the weight plate sections of the bar. That's the condition the box was in when I got it. I'm still really happy with the bar. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you have any others

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

I have a bar and I just opened it (when I used up an older bar). Until I looked up how to replace it, I had no idea I was opening a Rarity that Antiques Roadshow would get excited over. (On the back of the box I opened, it says "aged for three months...") I too would like to buy more of the pre-2009 Pears' soap. (Perhaps I should add that I bought this box of Pears' Soap some years ago and sat it in a cabinet where I didn't see it and forgot about it. I did not buy it from Amazon.com; I'm not sure Amazon.com existed when I bought this box of Pears' Soap. I now think that perhaps I shouldn't use it - save it as a historical monument, so to speak.)

The bar was shipped to us by a semi truck company hired by the online store. I just don't think it was packaged well. When it arrived the platform it was sitting on was all busted. I would check w the store who u are buying this bar from and let them know u are concerned about the packaging and want to make sure it's well cushioned You can tell them u have read that there are complaints about careless packaging. This is a nice bar and it would be frustrating if something on the bar is broken due to poor packaging.

It has a ammonia smell that disappears. This doesn't bother me as I've been using a homemade recipe of Vinegar, Rubbing Alcohol and Dish Soap. The floor does tend to be a bit slippy after using Rejuvenate. Also a few white streaks do show up from over spraying. This is easy to resolve by wiping up the excess.

there seemed to be a light coating on the wood. I must say that the handle did not seam to need any sealant. however I twiked the handle by using 220 grit ,very lightltly then used two coats of lnsead oil .don't worry about the handle, its good out of the box. check you tube for info on fine tuning the edge. i have used this tool all winter and am very pleased with it. have fun . bill

Yes, there is what appears to be white pulp looking substance inside both bottles, I like it so much I purchased another bottle. It is working for me.

I tried filling a glass with white vinegar and letting this item soak in it for a few days. That dissolved the external calcium deposits, and I suppose it helped rid the inside of such deposits, too. Doing that had no adverse effect on the finish.

The bar was packaged properly when I received it and there were no problems. But if I were shipping it internationally, I would like to have the packagingreinforced because of the distance involved and the extra handling. I hope this helps.

Hi Susy, I just looked at an empty can, and it looks like just the metal. It's not white inside. However, they don't say on the can they're not using the dangerous estrogen-mimicking chemical that has been used in can liners. If you do a search on their product, there are likely sites who would have a better answer.

Yeah. I'm not sure why--I think it might be some protective coating for shipment.

My noodles are not black? Perhaps the package some how has been opened and resealed??? The noodles are white that I have and in a watery substance.

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

no that's not normal, but I've had that happen with other brands. it's possible the powder package wasn't sealed good. I would believe the product would be fine to use unless the outer box was damaged.

It's white but it seems to me as if it's more of a primer paint. My husband says it looks like it wasn't painted, only primered. Hope this help!

it is pretty white, but not glaringly white. might be a little vanilla-ish. not too much though. hope this is helpful.
