Hello and a massive thank you to this forum - I have been reading through the archives for months now and learned so much!
Here's my question: everything about my candle seems perfect except that all-important HT. As in, it barely exists. I have tested:
my own blends of all-natural waxes, predominately coconut wax
fragrance loads ranging from 5-10%
a glass jar with a 2.75 diameter
cotton and cotton/paper wicks including RRD, CD, CSN, ECO, HTP, Cottonwood
cure times ranging from 1-3 weeks
I've gotten things dialed in to where the burn is amazing: average ROC is .07/hr, the flame stays small and steady even after an 8-hour power burn, I get a great MP (almost FMP after 4 hours; FMP on second burn between 7-8 hours; great subsequent burns up to 24 hours of testing). So, I hate to mess all this up, but I'm getting little to no HT. As I mentioned, I've tested numerous sizes of six different wick series.
Any thoughts? Is there any other information I can provide that would help?
