Candlewitch Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Some colors turn quick, within a few monthes. Alot faster then jars and alot more. This is with c-3 though. Will a 30% or 50% parrafin blend fix this problem? Yeah, i know, test... My supplier was out of the parrafin and i ordered so i have to wait a few weeks before i can order again for the pallet shipping. You can PM if you wish. Thanks .....................................

ChrisR Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I don't use that wax, but with my wax and using UV from Genwax I have NEVER had any tarts change colors for the several years I've been doing them, not even my blues or purples!!

Fire and Ice Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 You don't need to add Parrifin!Instead, add 35% V-1 wich is Cargils Votive blend to the C-3! They you still have a full Veggie/soy product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkysoycreations Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'm a C3 user...can you add V-1 if you're using a container? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 What do you mean by container? Do you mean a tart mold? I don't make tarts only clamshells but I don't see why not.:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Is a jar/container wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Was wanting to know if you can add V-1 to C3 wax to make a container candle?You can do anything you want, lol. But C-3 already has such a high MP, if I were going to add something, it would be a lower melt point wax. But that's just me. I'm not sure why you would want to add a votive wax to a container wax.

nbkfdu4 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 If you are wanting to pour tarts and containers, you can add V-1 to the C-3. The V-1 is just makes it pull away from the sides. If you use 35% as stated above I don't think you should have any problems with containers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Was wanting to know if you can add V-1 to C3 wax to make a container candle?No. V-1 is used for votives. You caan added it too for pouring tarts but NOT container candles. Use straight C-3 for containers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkysoycreations Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Ok, makes sense not to add them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 What kind of coloring are you using? Maybe you should look for a different supplier of coloring as I have made tarts (for my own personal use) and never had any problems with fading & I use 100% soy wax with nothing added.

stacien Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I have that same problem with tealights. I notice it becomes worse in colder areas I store them. It looks almost dried out. I have however been storing my melts in the little zip close bags made for chocolate and they have maintained great. I don't use the clamshell molds because I have a LOAD of chocolate molds because my mother in law use to own a chocolate business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest candelecandlecompany Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I having been using C3 for a long time and I have never had them change colors. I just use some UV inhibitor---I don't even have to mix soys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest candelecandlecompany Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 For years I was always told not to use vybar in the soy waxes. I listened but never knew why. So 2 weeks ago I used it just to see what would happen. Terrible, terrible results. The scent throw was almost none, hot and cold---I used a Butt Naked Type Scent which I get to throw very strong. I use a soy/bees wax blend with eco wicks with works fantastic. I guess I shouldn't "try to fix it when it isin't broken". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
