B Lavender Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hello all, i've been lurking and learning from everyone here for over a year and have my choice of soy down pretty good thanks to ya'll. My problem is with Clarus 3022 i can get a good melt pool but can not get it to melt all the wax film off of the glass it leaves a thin film that will not melt. Is this the way this wax behaves? Thanks for any info on this you could share. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I don't have that problem. My jars burn clean, there is a residual oily feel on the jar but it's a candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Lavender Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Thanks for your help, I'm using 8 oz square mason jars and even with large wicks there is a thick film with some color left. This wax works great in metal tins I guess I'll try a different jar. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle guy Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I use Clarus 3022 and a tiny bit of filmy hangup does not bother me. I use zinc and cdn wicks in my 8oz masons with this wax. You may want to try those out Lavender if you have not already. I usually use 8% fo with this wax. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Lavender Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thank you Candle Guy I am using cdn and premier wicks now and I'm getting a much better candle. The hangup is very little now and I will just have to get over it I guess. will try 8% . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
