In reply to Lee Evans. What are the best scents for this wax and what company do you use? Thank you

We find that gently heating the jars in the oven before pouring reduces the wet spots. We only heat the jars enough so they are warm to the touch not hot enough to burn.
Hope this helps.

I also have massive problems with wet spots. If it doesnt happen the first night….the second etc. It doesn’t adhere well to the jar. Using same wax ….464.

My tests have come out the same way every time with the 464! He to 185 and add fragrance oil immediately and stir for two full minutes. Pour at 150°. Smooth tops every single time. You can pour hotter with the 464. Now if only I could solve my adherence to the jar issue/wet spots. Working on that now.

In reply to veronica. I've had great success with Natures Wax C3 as far as the looks of my candles. The only downside to C3 is the max load is 6%. I decided to go try 464 because of the higher load possible. I'm on this site trying to find answers on how to get 464 to not come out lumpy and with sink holes but it seems its a crap shoot at best. So far I hate this wax. I'm going to go back to C3 and try a little higher quality oils.

I have only ever used 464 it’s all I know and although this is a tricky wax I mastered it and would never switch it. I melt to 180 remove from heat add dye and stir the. I allow wax to cool to about 119-115 and FO stir 2 mins and out immediately! After much trial and error this is the method that works for me! Called the Low-Temp Method

I just started using it. It worked beautifully in the 8 oz tins I used. Nice glossy finish, no imperfections at all and a great cold and hot throw. I switched over to mason jars and the sinkholes I got in every single candle were at least an inch deep and the tops were rough and ugly especially after using a heat gun to fix the holes. But it did keep the good hot and cold throw.

In reply to Wendy.

I use the double boiler method as well…a presto pot to be exact. Do everything Wendy says and I never ever get bubbles. I do get wet spots and hardly ever smooth tops BUT I think my candles are cooling too fast so I’m going to try keeping the jars in the oven until I’m almost ready to pour and will keep them in a cardboard box (but 4″ apart)….I agree too that FLASHPOINT of your FO’s is KEY for hot throw. I also agree to let cure 3-5 days before testing
