Label rubbed off!

[CatlinPM]

This is going to sound dumb, but when I first started candlemaking I bought a bag of C-1 and a bag of C-3 from Genwax, and when they came the wax was in a ziplock type bag and was labeled with marker. I played with the wax a little than it got shoved in my cabinet and has been there ever since. I decided it might be fun to try it again today and when I took both bags out of the cupboard I realized the marker that was labeling the bags has rubbed off and now I don't know which one is which?? Is there a way to figure out which one is C-1 and which one is C-3?

Not sure if Cargill wax is similar to EcoSoya but if it is, my pillar blend flakes are much harder and more brittle than my container wax. If they are both container waxes then I have no idea how you'd tell them apart.

I think I figured it out, reading some more on the difference between the two waxes a couple people have said that the C-3 is greasier. Well in one of the bags the flakes are definitely greasier and softer, whereas the other bag seems drier and the flakes are harder.

Not really, especially if they have been sittin gup for a while. Melt a quarter pound and pour some tarts or votives. If they are too soft to come out of the molds, you are using C3. If they are harder, it's C1.

In the bags I have, the C1 is also a much smaller flake. C3 has some pretty big flakes in the case, but the C1 is all small. I can also feel that the C1 is drier to the touch, almost harder even in the flake form...I don't think C3 feels greasy to me so this is the best I can describe the difference.
