So I couldn't find ECO 1 with a long enough wick. I decided to pick up a variety of CDs to try those (CD 3, 4 & 6 to double wick). But I'm certain that the ECO 2 double wicked was burning too hot. Thanks for advice. I'll update in a few weeks once I'm able to do proper burn tests.

Thank you. I cured for 6 days. I have a second candle that I poured at the same time that I'll test next week to see if there are any improvements. Can't really wick down from ECO 2 with this candle. Would hate to have to add less FO as it's a decent amount and not over done, and 2 drops dye for 16.5 oz of wax makes a great color so hoping not to have to adjust the coloring too much. So it seems maybe a different wick series might be my answer. Any suggestions on where to start would be great. I'm not married to the idea of double wicking, too, so a single wick recommendation would be just as good. I'm updating with a photo of what my candle looks like after a full 4 hour burn. I poured this one at around 160 - but using the cardboard trick is a great idea. Thanks for the advice.

This is my first wick test with IGI 6006. I'm using a 16 oz apothecary jar - 3.9" diameter, double wicked with ECO 2 wicks. 6% FO, no additives other than 2 drops of blue dye. After 2 hours, the melt pool looks good, the flames are not too big or too small, no soot, the HT is wonderful. BUT my wicks are mushrooming a bit. At first it was just the one wick, but then the other started doing the same. Does anyone have any advice? Open to any ideas or suggestions. Thank you. Also, when I poured this candle, I needed to treat it with my heat gun do to a HUGE sinkhole. I made 2 test candles and they both had huge sinkholes. No big deal to fix, but I thought this wax was supposed to be a single pour wax? (Thoughts on that?)
