I always used flakes but mannnn I love the slabs. its so easy and smooth to cut through with a knife. and sooo much easier to weigh. I use my scale and just put the tiny slabs piece by piece until I get the ounces I need. its so awesome. when I was using the flakes I had to weigh my container then subtract the container by the wax it was just to complicated. love love loveeeee slabs won't go back to flakes ever ever lol

What wicks would you recommend using with this wax in a 3 wick tumbler? (4” diameter). Tried CD3,4,5, and 6. Burns great and then the wax gets about half way down and the wicks start to burn out with all wicks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Av8Rmedic911 4 жыл бұрын

My company uses this wax and its fantastic other than, as he mentions, the sink holes and shrinking. Works great in the 8oz apothecary jars. but will sink in larger or jelly jars... However, what temp do you recommend this wax be poured at? Do you recommend letting them cool on a wire rack or a solid surface?

@kellsgreenidge8885 3 жыл бұрын

I just got an idea. If they come in slabs maybe the slab cutter that is used by soap makers will be good go cut the slabs into loaves and then the single wire cutter or multi bar cutter to get them into smaller pieces with less mess. That will depend on how hard the wax is.

Have you reviewed C3 wax yet? That is my favorite. I struggle with the IGI 6006, and mainly because of the sink holes, as it does take time to go over 40 or 50 candles with a heat gun. I have found the the cold and hot throw with the C3 is phenomenal. Candle Science no longer carries it, but I get it through either Flaming Candle, or Fillmore Candle supply.

cant make it work. Sink holes and uneven burn. Maybe the wick is not good but this was what it was recommended eco stabilo 12 for a 6oz jar. Maybe my silicone gun doesnt make it stick well? I dont know what my wick is not on the center after it burns 1-2 hours it is completely in a wrong place.

When it dried I figured out it was a spot of fragrance oil. The FO bundled in the middle around the wic.

I always have a lot of trouble with air pockets within the candle that appear through the glass. It's less if I heat the jars and pour at a higher temp. but I always end up taking the heat gun to them after a few days. I'm curious if yours develop air bubbles or "water marks" after a few days.

I am very new to candlemaking and I was also getting a lot of “wet spots”. I would heat gun them but they always came back. I’ve starting putting my jars on a cooling rack and heating the jars slightly with a heat gun before pouring. Also, I’ve started adding 1 Tbsp hard coconut oil to the melting wax. It seems to really help the wax adhere better. I keep the jars about 4 inches apart on the cooling rack for even heat distribution. I haven’t had another “wet spot”.
