I'm new to soy wax, having used paraffin exclusively since startup. I am using Nature Wax C-1 (also tried C-3). No matter what temp I use to pour, I get surface cracks. I've tried every 5 degrees increment from 115 to 170. I use warm jars, and 1 oz of FO.
C-3 was worse.
Any ideas?

The companies I buy FO from send the flip top lids when 16 oz bottles are ordered. I always ask for a couple extra for the smaller bottles. One company charges $.12 each, and the other company throws them in free. I bought a couple small measuring cups from Wal mart that only hold 4 oz, and I dribble my FO into the cup directly from the bottle. That way I can weigh the FO and stop at the correct amount easily.
