Awesome... Yours is the only video I discovered so far that compares C3 & C6 and explains the differences. Good job... and thanks a ton...!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been trying to decide between the C3 and C6. I use opaque jars so top is more important than glass adhesion for me. Again thank you so much.
Absolutely love the shirt BTW.
Best of luck to you and your business.
You're welcome! And thank you for the compliment 😊 Yes, it can be a struggle trying to find the best wax for your candles so I hope this video helped, also you can try mixing these waxes together or any other waxes you may like to get your desired outcome. I wish you the best with your business as well!
Thank you for this wonderful and thorough video. Makers helping makers!
Can’t wait to place my order with my discount code ☺️
Yess! We can’t wait😊
Love your shirt, great video!:)
Just found your channel. Good info. I’m experimenting myself and just made a second batch. Thanks!
Thank you!💛 I hope everything goes well with your experimenting! Which wax or waxes are you trying out?
Thank you for this video. I love comparison videos! What size jar did you use?
You’re welcome! I use a 9oz jar with a 3in diameter.
Hi girl. Great video. I'm starting out and using c6 . Have u used c6 anymore or have updates on c6? X
Such a helpful video ! What temp do you pour C3? X
Hi, where are those jars from?
Loved this video! I have a few questions regarding the C3 wax. Do you have the exact temperatures that you heated wax too, added FO and poured?
Thank you! I try to get to wax anywhere between 180-190 degrees and I switched from 6% to 8% FO. I hope that helps!
@@thehyaco thank you I have the same questions and you already respond, thanks
Testing C6 right now as i watch this. 9oz candle science jar using cd 12 wick. Im getting tunneling like crazy a frosted look around the edges almost 2hrs in and im barely getting a good hot throw. Im leaning going back to soywax
Sorry to hear about your testing experience so far, I would recommend that you increase your wick size or double wick for that jar (maybe 2 CD2's) to help with the tunneling. In terms of the hot throw, I'm not sure the oils you're using but that can play a part in it or maybe heat the wax up pretty high and then add the fragrance oil so that they bind well and see if that improves that hot throw. I hope that helps!🤎
How long do you cure c3 for?
I currently have c-3 and I hate it lol. It always tunnels. I have 45lbs. I want to get rid of. I am currently using something else and I am happy with my results ❤️
Wow, I’m sorry to hear that. Did you try using a bigger wick with it?
I haven't test it yet, not sure about the diameter but have you tried double wick? blend with other wax for slow burn? I create one single wick with C-3 and Tart to see how that goes. Soy is very temperamental and bipolar.
@@iluvdramarock lol “ bipolar 😅,... so very true!!
@@Duh2023 a lot of people use this wax to create “dessert candles” maybe that’ll help ✨
You should visit @armatagecandlecompany. He would explain at length about wax (in general) how the burn test etc. ohh I did my burn test with blend, it look good but my wick may have a bit thick because I couldn’t smell any fragrance. So I am doing a second test without the tart wax and size down.
Which candle did you prefer? I just purchased 50lbs of c3.
I prefer the C3 based on the look of the top of the candle. I got the same thing for the C3 as well!
I’m testing the C6 now and waiting two weeks to finally light the candle like everyone recommends is too long. It’s been 2 days since I’ve made my test batch. Do you think I’m ok to light it now ??
I would say wait the two weeks, only because you want to test the full potential of the wax/ candles. I totally get wanting to burn it right away but it really does make a difference.
If you’re burning it to just test how fast the wax burns (like the burn time) then I would say go for it! To me it depends on what you’re testing the wax for.
When you made your c-3 wax what did you heat your wax to?
I let it get to about 185-190 degrees.
Hi! what temperature do you pour c3 wax into the vessels?
Hey! I don’t check pouring temps after I finish stirring in the FO I just pour
Thanks for this! I usually use 464 but am trying out C3. Are yoi still using 6% fragrance oio with it?
You're welcome! No I use 8% when I use the C3. Let me know your experience with it!
@@thehyaco with or without addictive? Just curious because the max load is 6% but sometime I feel it need a bit more.
@@iluvdramarock Without additive. It does say the max load is 6% but one day t tried it with 8% to see how it would work and it performed well.
@@thehyaco ohhh would def test that as well. I do like the idea of using less FO but it not good HT then increase just a tad bit more. Thanks!
Love this video!!! I’m a fellow candle maker and trying out C6 and made major mistakes. 😂 I heated and placed the fragrance at 200 degrees. I could smell the FO frying like a piece of chicken ! Lawwwd.
Thank you!! 😂 not frying like a piece of chicken! I definitely needed that laugh 😂😂
😂
How have you fixed the c3 issue with it coming off of the glass?
No it’s just one of the cons that comes with soy waxes. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. You can work around it by using an opaque vessel.
Hi I'm using C3 and I found that pouring at a lower temp helps
I found heating the jar helps prevent that
Im using 9oz jars and looking for measurements for wax and fragrance %. Where can find it? Or could you assist! Also temperature for wax
It depends on the jar you get. So if you get a 9oz jar from candle science, in the product details it will tell you the fill weight and that’s how much wax can fit in the jar comfortably. When you buy your wax it will tell you the fragrance load it can hold (if it say 10%, subtract the 10% of fragrance oil from the fill weight of wax that the jar can hold). The temperature will also be listed in the details on whatever site you get the products from (I go about 5 to 10 degrees over because wax cools quickly and you would still have to stir the oil in). I hope this helps but feel free to ask anymore questions!
Which wick did you use in C-3 wax! Someone mentioned to me Eco8.
@@thehyaco In the C-3 wax which wick works better for the 9oz Straight side jar? Someone said ECO8 OR CD12.
@@tawanalm My 9oz jar has a 3 inch diameter so I use a cd22 wick now. That’s also what candle science recommended. You can measure your jars and then use their wick guide it’s pretty accurate in my experience.
@@thehyaco ok thanks I’m working with the 9oz Amber Jar is like 2.7 diameter or 2.5
Is there any way to get a smooth top with C6? or no?
Yes, you can use a heat gun on top as needed. It should be good after that. Sometimes bubbles will rise to the top while cooling but I just pop them so that it doesn’t dry with bubbles at the top.
@@thehyaco Okay thanks 😊
You’re welcome!☺️
do yu add anything to the C6? like stearic acid, because there us no way i can get a solid smooth top without adding SA or beeswax! i tried over 2o pouring temps!
No I didn’t add anything to the wax, in that case I would recommend using a heat gun to smooth the tops if you don’t want to add other waxes.
