sisterkaren Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi, I'm Karen, relatively new to candlemaking(about a year), we are trying a new wax for us since we can get it locally now and are having problems with testing. We had used ezsoy and liked it. We now are testing with the cargill c-3 and are having issues. We use 1 oz. fo to 1 lb wax and are pouring at about 160. We are testing wicks and so for the rrds are working the best. Our biggest problem is the sink holes in our 16 oz. masons. We are cooling them in a boox together to cool slower. It's not working. We are getting very frustrated. Any suggestions. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I also used to use C-3 and had sink holes. For me I actually had to repour a 2nd pour and make relief holes when the candle was almost cooled then pour the 2nd top coat and that helped. You can also use a heat gun and zap it. I just found no matter what temp I poured I always got the sink holes by the wicks. Good luck and hopefully you will get a better answer then mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 You could try pouring at the slushy point and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
