I added FO as soon as I decanted the wax from the melter. 
 

how were you surprised?

Tops were smooth and no sinkholes!! I was trying everything with C3 and couldn't make it work without a 2nd pour.

C3 needs to be poured cool. You can get glass like tops easily by cooling the wax quickly in the pour pot In front of a fan while stirring gently periodically.  Pour when it begins to cloud. I used C3 for many many years in a shop that varied widely in temp and humidity. 
 

I use a wide spatula to stir.

 

if cooled too slowly it likes to grain. If stirred too vigorously C3 will gather bubbles.
 

 

TallTayl would you mind telling me what temp do you add fo with this method? I've tried it today and really surprised of the outcome

Thank you very much! I’ve tried with one wick but flame was sooting and if I wick down it was tunnelling. I am now trying with C3 wax on its own. Do you think it might solve the issue? And yes, jar is 2.8 inch 

Hi everyone! This is my first post but been following you for a long time. I am using 20%of coconut wax and 80% of C3 wax in my blend. I used two stabilo 5 wicks in this candle. I have been testing it for couple of days and now once it got nearly to the bottom I've relight it again this morning and the wick has bent and fallen into wax. Does anyone know what is causing this issue? I would be very grateful for any help/advice.
