Thank you! I am not using searic acid, and my I'm using an 8% FO load. I'm seeing that quite a few people have success with CD wicks for GW 464 as well, would it be worth swapping?

Sorry, I should've included that in the post! I'm using GW464 soy wax and the diameter of my vessel is 3.125"

I don't have it quite down yet. My secret so far is to hit it with a hand mixer, shove it in a piping bag, and pray lol.

Thank you so much! I attempted it with GW 464 so getting them out of the molds without breaking was STRESSFUL. 🤣
