I think you need to cut back on the fo a little. I only use 1oz pp of wax and they have great throw, cold and hot and as far as the wet spots, I think everyone has had those a time or two and its not a big deal. I use J225 and dont get them too often but when I do, I dont worry about it. Next time you're in a store, check out the candles they have...75% of them have wet spots. Before I started making my own, I never paid attention to wet spots when I bought Candles. I wouldnt worry about those.
