Anna Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I pour a candle in a 16 oz apoth jar,with my own mix for Bird of Paradise scent.J50 wax,8% per lb.I have tried every size wick from 44-24z to 51z,and lx wicks.every wick I try flicker,there's a melt pool within a hour.I need help please.I have never had this to happen with every wick I try.I put chunks in the jar,with a overpour,same wax for both.

jillgunter Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Are you saying your wick is to small or to big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Sorry I haven't got back to the question,had to leave for work this morning.Every wick I have tried seems to be to big because it flickers,and the candle has a melt pool within an hour with every wick I have tried.I double wick my apoth jars.

Fern Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Just keep going down in wick size until you find one that won't produce a full melt pool within an hour. This is all a part of the dreadful testing we all must do...it can be so tedious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
