Brenda (OH) Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I used the 1275 wax a few years back. I would bump up your temp to about 185*, add scent and color then pour immediately after stirring good into pre-warmed jars. I think I poured around 165* - 175*. I used 8% FO load and zinc wicks, and got a great CT & HT. I switched due to shipping costs. I do recall if I let the wax cool before pouring I got horrible white frost like marks so pouring hot worked better for me. The jars I used would sink around the wick once they cooled and I had to hit them with a heat gun to level the tops but after figuring out the quirks it was a good wax.

Brenda (OH) Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 If my para-soy candles don't throw in 48 hours I move on to another wax. Are you sure it is 1275 ? Are you sure it is not a bad batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country bee Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi,you were right about higher temp,lst night I went back to start over,at 8% fo -added at 180-hand blender with a flat paddle for 3 min. and this morning it scented,yeah!!!I used zink 51-32-18 wick,I sure hope it burns now.Thanks,I just about gave up.I don't know why the fo sat in the bottom of all my test jars,no matter what % I used,I use the gesmo with a flat paddle on it to blend the fo and wax.I am still puzzled.Thanks alot for your advise.
