That is some of the prettiest m&p I've seen...congrats!

PB is for making pillars and would not do well for container candles. If you want to try blending waxes try with a container paraffin such as 4630. Start with 15% and go from there. C3 really does benefit from curing...2 days isn't long enough to get a true sense of it's ht capability. I've found curing for 1-2 weeks produces a great throwing candle. Imo, you should get to know the wax well before moving on to blending...could save you a few headaches.

Suzy that looks great! Please post a pic when you slice it ; )

They look great...love the colors!

The lower temp gives better adhesion and for me, little to no frosting. Pour temp doesn't have much to do with ht...what temp you add fo to wax does though.

I've worked with C3 for several years and will give you a few suggestions to try. What works for one usually does not work for another lol!

I temper C3 to help wax look smooth throughout its burn...you can find some great threads on tempering here. After I temper, I heat wax back up to 185*, add dye, add fo...stir for 2 minutes...pour when a slight film develops on top, about 120*. I do not preheat my jars but on occassion I do have to do a repour or use a heat gun to fill in any sink holes. Play with pour temp to greatly minimize the chance of sinkholes. In C3, for me, I prefer to use 8.5% fo load...anything above that and you run into seepage and wicking issues and 6% just doesn't do it for me for ht., let cure for 1-2 weeks.

I use Premier and CDNs for wicking...they wok well with C3. Call Wick It (1-866-3WICKIT) and they will send you a generous amount of Premiers to try for free...think there's a $5 charge for shipping. If you like them, you can purchase Premiers through Aztec or Fillmore. HTH

Suzy, you know you want to order...just hit that submit button ; )

I have the house to myself and it's been raining, perfect day for wax...this is what I've poured...

Summer Boardwalk

Blueberry Cobbler

Wildberry Mousse

Cranberry Marmalade

Mulled Cider w/Chestnuts

Maple Skillet Bread

Santa's Whiskers

Grandma's Cupboard

and Pink Marshmellow Sugar Cookie Dough Bread

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

I too, use the max % allowed but I do not sell, they're for my enjoyment only.

Tiffany, I sent you an email...wicks are in the mail. I think you may need a certain amount of posts before you can pm.

With C3, I use Premier and CDNs for wicking....try a CDN 12. It is comparable to the 767 but may offer a better burn for you. If you dont have any and would like to test a few, shoot me a pm and I'll send you some. HTH

Same here, Permatex

I found ECOs to work well with the 464...hth.

They look amazing! Love the Strawberries and Cream : )

Lonestar carries it as well

Ive used them for a long time now and never had a problem...hth.

Sounds like frosting which is a normal characteristic of soy. You can try tempering the wax and/or adding up to 1 tbs pp of USA (universal soy additive) to help control the frosting or if you don't like the look of it, go dye free. Many choose not to dye their candles...imo, it gives an upscale look to them.

With the 415 you also may want to try pouring cooler...at the slushy stage. HTH

Ginger Lime

Early Sunrise

Egyptian Sheets

Peppermint Bark

Looks good to me too...congrats!

Out of the mouths of babes...great idea!

Wow! That's beautiful!! The detail is incredible

Best if you have coverage...what if someone accidentally spilled hot wax on themselves? Think hot coffee and McDonalds

Im fairly new to m & p, but I'm doing well with .5 oz pp using AH/RE and CS fo's...hth

Looks good so far : )

That is the nature of soy...tempering the wax and adding 1 tbs USA pp will greatly help discourage that and make for a much smoother candle. Use the search bar to find some great threads on tempering soy wax. HTH
