Our Cb3, CB2 and CB30 all require being heated to at least 170 F if color is being added. Once color has been stirred in well we let cool to 160 F and add fragrance. Pouring can be done at 160 F or lower. Heating the container a little and allowing at least 6" between containers when cooling will stop most air pockets(wet spots). The CB3 is a Pure Soy and will Bloom(White spots) and therefor we recommend using tins or frosted glassware. Calwax is working on a formula to stop the bloom, maybe in time for the Holiday season.
We now have a new 100% all natural soy wax that will not bloom. It is the Accu Soy 10 (AS-10) The appearance is nice & creamy, no blooming or frosting. It has a very nice fragrance throw, still pastelles colors slightly. It is cosmetic grade and can be applied to skin. The recommend pouring temps are between 145-180. We've noticed with larger containers pouring hotter was necessary.

This sounds like a nice wax to work with as I almost ordered this brand however the shipping was just as much as the 50lb. price on this soy wax. As for me I cannot see paying this much on shipping. I have decided on the Cargill C-3. I found a supplier (after reseach) that is much cheaper both wax and shipping. Also I have only seen positive feedbacks on this wax as well. If I find a reasonable price on the accu Soy 10, I will try this one as well.
Yes shipping 55lbs is expensive if you are not in the same state as the supplier. We wish we could offer cheaper shipping rates but unfortunately we charge what is actually cost us to ship. However we do check both USPS and FedEx rates for the cheapest that is available. We are in Washington state which is at the top corner of the country, so anywhere past the midwest gets pretty spendy. You can always go to fedex.com Rate Finder and enter our zip code (98499) and find out how much your shipping would cost. I'm sure there is plently of soy waxes out there and if you find a good wax with a supplier that is local, of course your going to save money. Paying shipping on anything can be a pain.
