Thanks for the reply. Think I will do some playing with it when I have the time and space to spare and see what results I get.

Hello Ive been reading through various threads and often come across coconut oil being used an an additive to candle wax . Can anyone tell me for what purpose it is used and how it works please?. Does it really help with scent throw as claimed by one candle supply website that I have seen? I've read that some use it to counter lumpy tops and/or wet spots. Im using Naturewax c3 and rarely get lumpy tops, I think the one time that I have was with a lemon FO and I may have poured too cool, this was cured with a blast with a heat gun. Half a teaspoon of coconut oil seems a minute amount in 450 gr of wax. Also, is it the solid Coconut oil or the fractionated oil that is used? Sorry for all the questions on my first post, but i'm hoping that someone will be kind enough to enlighten me. Thanks very much Bramble

Thank you Candybee

hello everyone, i'm in the uk here to learn and hopefully to contribute. Got lots of reading to do. I use Naturewax C3 and so far only been making melts with varying degrees of success. Its very hard to get good oils as most US companies will not ship to the UK, but I do use some Natures Garden oils even though with shipping and import duties they are very expensive. We also have EU labelling compliance to deal with here and again not all US companies will supply the MSDS needed to work out what is needed for the labels. Simply put, this is where all the chemicals contained in the oils must be listed on the product label if the concentration is more than 0.1% of the finished product along with the corresponding environmental safety statements. Candle burning safety labels are a separate thing. Off to start reading.. bramble
