It’s the percentage of the batch. So you calculate .002 percentage of whatever batch size you’re making will give that color result.

Had a feeling that was the way it was with that wax. Too bad! Do not want to be doing two pours!

Having just started playing with 4625, it likes it hot" it cools super fast and you need it liquidy to pour correctly.

Yes and get same blah result.  The 4625 pours so well it’s scary. Flat backs like glass.

i just had a couple couple clamshells to play around with, but if they don’t pour easy with a wax bye bye.

Okay this needs more information.

Why is this too hard? 

Is this to be cut or lit as is?

How is this to be melted? Maybe too hard is good you don’t want wax flooding a table with burning wicks.

What are your ingredients - types of wax, types of wick.

What is the proposed outcome for this cake?

I have some FC Problend 650 and have yet to get a smooth back compared to the ease of 4625.

i have been pouring at 170 degrees for fear of melting the clamshell. Should I be pouring hotter than this for a smooth back?

You can buy on EBay and get it shipped from UK. It’s not carried here.

I made a test candle with this and you didn’t even have to light it.

Very strong. I’m not a fan of super bakery scents but this one I liked.

Jeana posted those fun color candles, and now I have colored candle lust! I have a couple liquid colors from Wellington Fragrance that work well.

Some of you have said there are stinky and not so stinky, and from some past this and that bottle some of the liquids are not all that dissolved well.

Thoughts?

A cheesecake scented candle? A candle shaped and colored like a cheesecake?

You have soy wax to use?

You have a cheesecake soy wax candle?

🤯

I love the colors. Are they paraffin? All the soy candle attempts have ended with frosting.

Must be climate controlled for sure. Of ten you think you have zero space but look around to reconfigure or get rid of stuff.

you could even put a bed on risers then store candles underneath in plastic bins.

Here’s my crafty tip.

Get a notebook and removeable stickers.

Write the method in your notebook, and then also on sticker for back of clamshell?

Wax type

Fragrance load in percentage

Pour temp

Dye and how much dye

Additives

In your notebook you should record all your fragrances and evaluations.

Some will be light and some strong.

Remember when change the percentage of anything in candle wax, you change the outcome!

Be precise in testing then you will always be able to duplicate your results.

You might want to start undyed  to learn how your wax works with the fragrance percentage.

Then start with dye. Adding anything to candle wax can change things a lot. Most dyes harden wax, but

I don’t add color as I have enoug issues getting perfect without testing a million colors.

Haha omg. They aren’t all that good. Problems with all of them. And that’s the reason most waxes are blended somewhat even the only soy supposedly straight ones.

Try reducing to 6 percent. Start smaller then work up. At 6 percent I bet you get a good throw on a melter, and good release.

are you adding dye? Dye can harden up wax as well.

Try reducing the amount of fragrance you are adding. If you are eyeballing the amount, it may be too much and making your wax too soft, so then it sticks.

Interesting. But having just had chimney lined I am very cautious what goes up in there. They sound great for outdoor fires but I would not use them in a fireplace, unlined or lined. Just sayin. Chimney liners are expensive.

Like that idea, you may have to market those decks 👌🏻

I decided against C6 because of frosting, and tops should pour smooth considering it’s marketed as one pour wax.

My sample was if firmish not super soft, but it’s still chilly here in Northeast tho my studio is close to 80 

I like HTP. They have many different sizes which is nice. I also like Ecos but not as many size choices.

Try htp wicks. There are more sizes and the largest burns hotter than eco.

Oh good idea thank! Will melt in those tin pans from supermarket and make thin slabs then break them up.

Haha 😂 well got a sledge hammer took it outside. It was NOT fun, and I didn’t even do a very good job.

I’m using htp wicks with coconut wax, didn’t like any other wicks for it.
