kandlekrazy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ok, this CR_P is working ok for melts in molds, but not so good in clamshells. Now I'm remembering why I stashed it in the garage, LOL. I've tried everything including 2nd pours and can't get the top in the clamshell to look nice and smooth (craters, lines, ugliness).Any suggestions???????? I'd give up completely on 415 but Gen Wax isn't shipping C3 until 1/8 and I need some dang melts made. It's my own fault for not wanting to order more in Dec. Trying to make due with what I have.

8-GRAN-ONES Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 are you talking about the 6 cavity clam shells?i use them all the time to pour extra in..but i usually pour up over the top of the fill lines,,mine are always smooth on top..HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellen Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Mine look good too...you're pouring at areally low temp?I dont fill mine over the lines (sometimes accidentally) and they look good.Mmmm wonder what the cause could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I thought I was pouring cool enough but today poured at cloudy slushy and they came out better, still not great but I think I can live with it. Only 2 more days and I'll have my regular wax back and I think this time what ever is left of this is goin in the trash so I don't forget and use it again.

Brenda (OH) Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 415 will pop out of the clamshells OK without adding a harder wax? Seems I had tested it in the past and didn't have any luck without them sticking then crumbling when trying to remove the cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 My C3 arrived on Thursday afternoon and I'm a happy camper again!!! I've been trying to use 415 in little molds and it's a bear to get out even after freezing for a few minutes and the C3 just pops right out for me. As far as the clamshells go, it wasn't that I couldn't get the cubes out, it was the ugly look of the top when it hardened and you can't use a heat gun on clamshells. Doesn't matter anymore, got my wax, next year I'll remember that Gen Wax closes the first week of the year for inventory and this will not happen again, LOL...yeah right, I'll remember:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
