Hi there, I just got a sample of this wax and normally use the soy wax so I thought I'd see if anyone could help with a ? or two!  Do you add FO at 170-175? (that's what I do with my soy) and what temp. do you pour around? (I usually have to pour around 110).  I've done a search and looks like the HTP or zinc wicks are used for this wax, but has anyone tried the RRD with it?  Sorry for all the questions, new to this or any wax that's non-soy!

I dont use this wax, I use 1945 harmony blend. I looked on suppliers website I order from since they are 5 minutes from me. THey said to pour at 180. I add my FO at 180 and stir for few mintutes while my jars warm in oven. I pour the 1945 at 170. Hope that helps. THey are suppose to be similar.

Thank you!  I didn't think of warming the jars, since the soy pours at around 100-110 I never had to do that!  Good tip!

After testing at all temps imaginable for months, I have found I get the best results when I add my FO & dye to the Comfort Blend at 170 and pour into warmed jars at 150-155.  
 
You will need to wick up with this wax.  At least two sizes larger than what you would use with other waxes.
