I plan to eventually sell, and for fear of the candle doing anything weird at higher ambient temperatures (beading or melting when shipping to Texas in the summer), I don't want to push the coconut percentage past 15%. I have no idea how people are selling candles that are majority coconut. At 20% coconut, the tops look mushy and take forever to dry completely solid. My happy spot is between 7-14%. I think I just need to accept/embrace the "rustic" tops after first burn lol.
I thought the pan method would allow me to flip my candle container over the melt pool and determine the wick: https://youtu.be/esnBcoafKNQ?list=PLXl4OlJunEc7DJBdeUq8gbuky2yEk8vSq&t=144
But that isn't so given my results. Next experiment is to test CD12-16 in candle containers halfway full of wax and see how the flame affects the glass after a 3 hour burn.
Best of luck with coconut-soy. It's an adventure for sure!
