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?

I would start with either a cd12 or eco10 in that size. 

 

You dont want want it to completely reach the edges until a couple of burns in otherwise it will be far too hot by the second half.

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 

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..
