C3 issue with heat gun


Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

 

ive been using C3 at around 160-165 pour with not much issues. Smooth too and all.

Previously had issues with around 150 pour (humidity in my area)

 

but when I use the hair dryer to smooth out the old batch of candles poured at 150- frosting occur.

 

shoukd I be using heat gun or?

 

is there a temperature limit to smoothing out the tops?

Soy waxes are all pretty unforgiving of being partially remelted. It causes random recrystalization which looks like unintended frost.  
 

You could try a second pour, though I often end up with cracking if the pour temps are too cool.

You need a heat gun, it will help. A hairdryer doesn’t work well as the heat does get as hot as heat gun.

Get the smaller craft heat gun, versus the type at Home Depot which haha cause a fire if used incorrectly.

Amazon has the smaller craft  it’s a learning curve with heat guns and melting candle tops.
