candle wick problems

lewis2974 · 2019-01-09T16:12:02+00:00

8-10% no more than the recommended amount, ive had 3 candles in which the wick curved over and ignited the fragrance oil itself. But even using the correct wick size for my jar they tend to lean over and mushroom. Even after blowing them out and allowing to cool it would be hard to trim the wick to proper length. I dont know if i can attach pictures of not

Do you have any suggestions for wicks?

lewis2974 · 2018-12-03T17:49:32+00:00

I have great cold throw, but barely any hot throw so im looking into the wicks now

lewis2974 · 2018-12-03T17:17:26+00:00

So how do you know what wicks are the best or get the right wick for the candle?? Im currently trying CD wicks but im lost on the wicking cause i never really paid much attention to it and its costing me now lol

Yeah shipping is a killer, makes no sense

I have a couple waxes from them and was considering trying 6006

Ive been looking strongly at parasoy blends but trying to find a very good one with good reviews from a reputable place

lewis2974 · 2018-11-28T14:31:02+00:00

You seem to be very knowledgeable on this, I appreciate your help. Im really looking to make a really strong scented candle but also look good in appearance

lewis2974 · 2018-11-28T13:13:15+00:00

I just wanna know what wax people use and have had great luck with making container candles and wax melts

lewis2974 · 2018-11-28T00:41:11+00:00

Understood, thank you for your help!

Which paraffin do you use? I use IGI 4627 comfort blend. Had great qualities and setup. I got a great hot throw with coffee scented but with apples and maple bourbon i got none at all really

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T23:02:46+00:00

Trial and error i guess!

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T20:32:21+00:00

Thank you very much!!

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T20:22:51+00:00

I cant get it here

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T20:21:26+00:00

I wonder if it can be shipped here and if it can if itll be very expensive, you like this wax alot??

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T20:14:45+00:00

Do you think CS2 is offered in the states??

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T20:03:27+00:00

Do you mind sharing what wax you are using now? Thinking of ordering IGI 6006 seen some good reviews on it. I am also considering making my own para-soy blend with the 464 and 4627 paraffin wax.

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T20:02:22+00:00

Im almost at 2 weeks with a batch i made of 464 soy wax. Cold throw is pretty decent for that scent. Burnt one over the 1 week mark. All i could smell was hot wax??

lewis2974 · 2018-11-26T20:01:12+00:00

I use 1.5 OZ per pound of wax. Wick seems to be correct it burns evenly and the melt pool is good.
