@TallTayl yes it seems like i'm way over wicked. i'll let the candles cure longer and wick down. thank you!

@bfroberts thank you. I will wick down. I didn't take into consideration that tapering of the jar as the candle burns

Hi everyone. I have been testing IGI 6006 for close to 3 months now. My straight sided tumbler diameter is 3.1" and my candles are 8oz.

• I've tested zinc wicks in multiple sizes, CD-16, 18, 20, ECO 16, HTP 105 and none of these wick achieve a full melt pool.
• I should also note that I use a 10% fragrance load and have let my candles cure for 24 hours before burning.
  • The ECO 16 wick achieves a full melt pool as the candle burns further down because the tumbler is narrower at the bottom, however it scorches my wax and turns it to a burned brown color. The hot throw of my candles is much better with the ECO 16 despite it burning the wax.
  • The CD wicks do not throw as strongly for me, but do not burn the wax. The HTP wick curls to one side and burns unevenly. The zinc wicks mushroom A LOT despite not reaching a full melt pool.
• I let the candles burn for 3 hours (1 hour per inch of diameter) and the melt pool is deep, just never reaches the edges.

Is there any wick you recommend that I try? Should I try to cure the candles longer? The wax always seems to tunnel no matter the wick and the size I'm using. Any help would be appreciated.
