I just did my first test pour of c3 and had the most perfect setup! I don't think the wax would need to even have a heat gun it is so smooth! I poured at 140F. I hope it wasn't a fluke... and I hope when I test burn the HT is amazing... waiting on it to cure now. Did you happen to find a good wick that you settled on? It's hard because the container plays such a role too, whether it absorbs heat or not, if its fluted, etc. For my test I went ahead and wicked them the same as I do for 444 in my container.... we will see! FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED! 444 has been less than impressive since this spring for me, used it for a year before that with awesome results.
