Tricia76 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I use Cargill C-3.Has anyone used that? I am so new to this candle making and I guess I will just have to try everything huh? I know I want soy but I heard 50/50 blend is awesome.All I know is that I like the creamy wax look..If that makes any sense LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I started with C-3 but have since changed for 2 reasons...1)couldn't get it wicked right and 2)the cost of shipping it to me. I found a supplier that I can drive to pick up my soy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexie Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 i also use c3 since it came out. looking for a better wick but i think once you figure it out it is a great wax. i gave up on color so i don't have to worry about frosting, i make my label with a picture of the scent and sell them just as well as the colored ones.:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricia76 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 What kind of wick do u use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LightofDawn Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I also use C-3 and so far so good. It does take some time to get it figure out. I use the Premier 700 series wicks and I am very pleased with the results of these wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisterkaren Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Me too! I use the premier 700's and they are by far the best that I have tested. They do however need trimmed. I burn my candles all day and they do need trimmed in between. If you trim them there is barely any black at alll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindys Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I also use C3, I use ECO wicks. I have had great success with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy/WI Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I use C 3 & CD wicks. It does take a little time to figure the wick part out but once you've got that it's a good wax. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
