NightLight Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have some FC Problend 650 and have yet to get a smooth back compared to the ease of 4625. i have been pouring at 170 degrees for fear of melting the clamshell. Should I be pouring hotter than this for a smooth back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Thats why I pour cooler just for the same reason you just said. Have you tried pouring cooler to test and vice versa? Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yes and get same blah result. The 4625 pours so well it’s scary. Flat backs like glass. i just had a couple couple clamshells to play around with, but if they don’t pour easy with a wax bye bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used that blend and also the one from KY (same wax) and I never get smooth tops unless I pour half of the clam, let it cool and pour the rest. That's the only way I've ever gotten that wax to be smooth on its on. I've blended with container wax (4630) and also 4794 and it's smoother but you won't get smooth tops by itself. It's not a one pour wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Had a feeling that was the way it was with that wax. Too bad! Do not want to be doing two pours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleRush Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I use that wax too but pour mostly in shot cups and they are always smooth. I checked my notes, heated to 180, added f. O. Poured at 150. The batch of wax is from February if that helps also from flamings.🌸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleRush Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Should add I’ve never had to pour twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
