Gary in Canada Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I have been trying/testing 6006, and using the pour with no wick testing procedure. So I poured a 2.5" glass container, 6% linen scent, no dye and a RRD34 wick. Started out good...good HT, nice quiet flame...but after 3 hrs it seemed to be tunneling. So the next day I pulled out the 34 and replaced it with an RRD47. It.s burning real nice but seems to be following the "tunnel" of the first burn of the RRD34. Should I start this test over? I know they say soy has a memory...not sure if 6006 has a memory also? Thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 6006 but I use CD wicks; from what you're saying it seems that your wick is just too small or maybe it's just not the right type of wick. Have you tried the CD's?

Gary in Canada Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 I don't have CD's up here...but I will order some fro the US to try. The RRD's seem to work real good, so I think I might order some more sizes, and test it over again.. I think the RRD would work good, but just needs to catch up the the orignal burn. I wish a Canadian supplier would carry CD's....would make life a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
