    HI Ashley! Thank you for this tutorial!! I just starting making candles and I love C3 soy wax. I have a doubt, did you preheat the jars? The first time I did a candle I poured it with your recommendations and after a few days the wax separated a little from the container. Once it was switched on it was solved but I don't know if I did something wrong. I tried to pour it colder but it doesn't look as good as the first time (the top layer). Is it better to preheat the jar or put aluminium foil over it? Thank you very much!

    Any luck with wicking 8 Oz.tins with C-3 wax? I'm having issues . Tried CD-18 as recommended but the flame is high but afraid if I wick down to a CD 16 or 14 there maybe tunneling. Any suggestions would be appreciated☺️

    • @ashleygreenn
      @ashleygreenn Před rokem

      What’s the diameter? I would try the CD 14 or 16 and see what it looks like after 3-4 burns. Tunneling is only bad if it doesn’t correct by the end. My candles don’t create a full melt pool on their first burn because I’m trying to extend the life of the candle. By the end, they burn perfectly even.

  • @GG-xz7nv
    @GG-xz7nv Před rokem

    I always get beautiful smooth creamy tops with this wax, but it does give slight minor wee little cracks on some of them… it’s usually right next to the wick, so I’ve been told it’s from the wick moving during, or after pouring the wax etc. So I’m trying to tweak that. I have noticed I usually only get cracks when I use cotton wicks. My wood wick ones are always flawless. Which would make sense that the wick is sturdy and not creating air or movement in the wax as it cools like a wobbly cotton wick does sometimes.

  • @IrishQ76

    Though I don't like mushrooms of CD wicks. For your burn tests in your jars, I would use the CD 6 for the simple fact it does eventually catch up with the wax.

    I started with C3 and left because of the concerns you raised.

I love 444 I have had great glass adhesion with it, great color retention, and awesome hot throw which surprised me cause I’ve read so many people complain about it, but I can not for the life of me get a smooth top after burning and I feel like it looks so unprofessional. :-( I don’t know what to do.

The small 2oz tins achieved a full melt pool after about 3 hrs, but it was about 97% of full melt after just over 2 hrs... I'm happy with that as I didnt want the tin to get too hot... the 4oz container (glass, same width), achieved a burn pool after 1hr 15mins... which seemed a bit quick, but the top 1/4" is slightly smaller in diameter as the rest, where the lid twists on... idk.. seems appropriate, but March 9 is two weeks from pour date, so I won't about scent through until then...
