dixiegal Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I started adding co 1 tsp pp to my 464 to help with throw and it has. Now I'm having issues with cracks and sunken tops, Something that has never happened before with this wax. Could it be from the co? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 To be sure, pour a few candles without it. I don't use 464, I use C3. I have found that CO does contribute to the wax's tendency to crack (the dreaded circular C3 crack). I don't use CO in my formula; however, the sinkholes are generally a function of the top cooling too rapidly. Try evening out the temperature of cooling by making sure there is circulation all around the candle and that the tops are protected from cooling more rapidly than the rest of the candle. Temperatures that vary in our pouring area produce changes in the appearance of soy candles. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 For me, it doesnt... but I agree 100% with Stella that its all in cooling. If I get lazy and dont cool properly, my tops turn out terrible no matter what I do. when I follow my normal procedures... no problems!
