    Hello, Im a beginner of making candles.

    I 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, the 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..

      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
