[tootie04]

OK i tried the search it didnt work...anyway i found Nature Wax C1 and C3 close to me. I can go pick it up...BUT have to test as it would be a new wax to me....anyway

Stella is this C3 the same you use??

What is the difference between C1 and C3

Anyone else use either of these waxes??

Hi, I used C1 since it was the only soy wax available here in italy, so I can't compare with anything else, sorry! I had troubles finding out the best way to use it but then I got good results.

Let me know if I can be of some help.

Forgot to say, if you can pick it up maybe you should consider a bit of test!

I've tried the C3 before for a short time. I don't use it anymore but I found it pretty easy to work with. Holds scent well and has a nice opaque creamy texture. Like any other wax it has its pros and cons but I liked this one.

Haven't tried the C1 so can't comment on that.

I use C# and I like it. I know that some others on here use it as well, including Stella. Never tried C1.

OK thanks you all....I thought the C3 Nature wax was the one you all use...I am gonna order 10lbs of both to test.

Now to research USA or coconut oil....

sounds right to me, you can see the differences (if any) with your eyes. I never used any additive with C1. I like to keep things simple, I had to make thousands of tumblers, so I found the way to have good candles with wax and fo only!

Hey! cybersix and tootie04 sorry for barging in on your you but how do you know if the wax you use is C1 or C3 can you please explain it for me

[cybersix]

I knew it because the supplier told me!

[tootie04]

I can order either one and pick it up...so i have a choice of which i wanna use.

I dont know how you could tell if it was not marked.

I got this off the Nature Wax website. HTH

What is the difference from C-1 and C-3?

NatureWax has two Container Blends that are called C-1 and C-3. The main difference between these waxes is that C-1 consists of a blend of Vegetable Oils, whereas C-3 is 100% Soy Based.

NatureWax C-1 performs better when it is poured at temperatures around 110 deg F. The C-3 Blend performs better when poured at temperatures closer to 160 deg F. Another feature about C-3 is that it has better glass adhesion than other soy waxes.
