I am pouring some more today. I'm going to try three full jars (12 oz capacity) with three different scents. Maybe I can try diff pouring temps too. Will let you know. I REALLY REALLY want to find a way to make this work. The hot throw was so much better than 464 and I can easily drive to pick it up. Crossing my fingers.....

We really want it to work as well!  Although we don't have the luxury of picking it up, it is less expensive than the wax we were using before and seems to be more readily available.  If we can just get those tops smooth, they will have us as their newest customers!  Thank you for responding to our post!  🙂

I ordered some C-6 recently and just poured a day ago. I'm using wood wicks (1/2" booster 0.04") and 8% FO. I'm going to test one at 24 hours and then the two others after a few days/week. I heated to around 190 and poured around 135-140. The tops weren't super smooth but weren't terrible either. I used to pour my custom blended 464/CW wax at a much higher temp (around 165) and got very smooth tops but since I wasn't sure how much coconut the C-6 has I opted to pour cooler. My main concern was the wax seemed softer than I would have expected after pouring and setting up overnight. My house is around 68-70F. I worry what it might be like in the summer. If this test comes out OK in terms of HT then I will experiment with pouring temps to see if that makes the tops better. I'm not sure what to think/do about the softness though....and, it's weird bc the wax out of the bag was fairly hard and a bit brittle. I really hope this will work because TFC is within driving distance and this is the only coconut wax they carry.

Peggy...Have you had a chance to test the C-6 from TFC any more?  We ordered a 10 pound pack to test ourselves.  We were a bit concerned when the representative told us it would have a softer texture than what we received because like you...ours was hard and brittle.

We've made a few jars and are finding it very difficult to get smooth tops...even after repeated attempts with the heat gun.  Not sure how to fix that.  I'm thinking we may be pouring too soon, but thought after repeated attempts with the heat gun it would fix itself, but it's still a struggle.
