Hello,
I hope you are doing well in these times. I come back to you to share my results and conclusions for others who would encounter this problem:
Following these problems:
- Test with other suppliers of FO without dyes dosed strongly at 10%, identical wicks: All the candles worked very well.
- Candle test with dye, identical wicks, no FO: Work well
- With addition of FO = Problem from a dosage of 7% (6% works well)
- Candle test even wick with FO 9% ..8% ..10% and dye from another supplier: Works well.
- Large candle test 3 wicks with or without dye and without FO: Work well
Conclusion:
My problems seem to come from:
- FO
- Association for an FO between the wick, the FO, and the dye which came to saturate the wick. Over time the flame decreases, the wick can no longer give its normal power. With another dye from another supplier dosed lower, it works well.
Thank you all for your help.
