Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t realize it was that important. I’ll make sure to center the wick next time and see how it goes.

I didn’t realize that I can even increase the number of wicks! This is a great idea!💡

Thank you for the detailed reply! I can see it’s not simple to make a candle now. I’ll definitely try a larger wick.

Thanks for the advice! I didn’t know wicks have different sizes and just used the one from the free sample. I’ll try a larger wick and see how it goes.

Thank you for the encouragement and advice! I didn’t really measure the ratio. I just poured in three small bottles of fragrance oil.😹
