Yes, a definite failed attempt. Keep trying. It can only get better.

Nice try, though.

Very nice. What wicks did you use?

Try the votive wax in a container and see what happens for a comparison.

I dont think that its wise to just start testing random wicks with out being educated first. Thats why i posted this question to get an educated answer as to where to start. I dont want to waste wax on wicks that people have already tried and failed at.

That's why I invited you to check out supplier websites. Most wick charts are very specific and give you very good starting points. After that, it's trial and error. Asking on a message board without researching, then getting a dozen or so different answers, will not help you in the slightest and will probably result in more wasted wax.

Have fun. If done properly, you will find that researching and testing will take up the bulk of your time and money, at least in the beginning. If you expect someone else's results to work for you, you will fail.

Most suppliers have wick charts on their websites. You will have to take an educated guess and start testing like everybody else does. If you consider testing a waste of wax, you won't get very far in the business of making candles.

IMO, if you don't want to name the supplier, you should not have posted. This is a board to help people. Why are you afraid to name the supplier? Inquiring minds want to know.

Wow. I wish I had a job where there were lots of people to do my testing for me.

Sure, right. Whatever. :rolleyes:
