  1. Im struggling so much to find the right wick for my 3” soy pillar candle. Im using q230. I found ones with lx and htp wicks burned clean and had less mushroom. But they always spilt over or it collapsed as the melt pool reached to the edge after 3-4 burns. I started with lx 22 as recommended and i recently did even with lx 10 but same results.. Is there anyone who decides a wick for pillar candles from q230?
  2. I found several wick guides and it recommends slightly different wick sizes so I didn't know where to start. I will start with them as you recommended. Thank you so much
  3. Hello, Im a beginner and i need a help!! Ive tried to make a container candle with nature c-3 wax. The container is 7.75oz libbey lexington jar and it has 2 7/8 inches diameter. What wick do you recommend? should i do a wick test after mixing with dye and fo? Also, it has to have a melt pool reaching to a wall of container after 2hrs burning? Or it shouldnt touch the glass? I checked how to do the wick test in youtube and internet. And it really confuses me.. 2 7/

      I am not a C3 user to be able to tell you a starting point- with all the soy issues out there and C3 being one of them not wicking normal any guess I would have is out the door 

       

      I would search the threads for C3 and read the most recent ones regarding wicking and I do feel you need to test the wax naked first before adding FO and dye to see how it burns and then add one variable at a time
