Hi Dave...I've been using C3 for a few years now and love it (I also use a soypara). There are a few things you can try to improve the texture and look of C3, one being tempering the wax. There are quite a few threads on it and it definetely makes the wax smoother and creamier. Many people pour C3 at a higher temp which enables them to get a smooth top. Some like myself, pour much cooler to avoid frosting issues. I choose to do a repour to fill in any sink holes and get great tops. I've never prewarmed jars...by pouring C3 cooler, you get excellent adhesion and virtually no wetspots. I pour when a slight skin starts to appear on top of wax, around 120*. You can also try adding a little USA (universal soy additive) to lessen frosting and improve texrure. Keep in mind that there are some fo's that will always cause frosting, but for the most part, by tempering the wax and pouring much cooler you can eliminate it with C3. HTH
