Hi,

It depends on which brand of FO. BB has a wonderful Coconut Cream that should work for you. What I have found is that pouring my additives in a batch at 110 degrees F helps to keep my mix from seizing. Or you can try thechemistrystore.com. Hope all works out for you.

No matter what plain coconut fo I've used, I've honestly never had a problem with seizing. But I RTCP. The biggest problem I have with coconut is getting it to stick. It almost always dissappears no matter if I anchor it or not. I've anchored some and the scent is there at about 2 weeks out, then I get so excited because I think it's going to stick. Then another couple weeks go by & the scent is almost completely gone

Most coconut's discolor as well, just in case you were wondering.

Good coconut FO that doesn't discolor, morph or fade is the holy grail for me. I haven't found one yet and I've been looking for years.
