It is a big wick but when I looked at its burn diameter, it said about 80mm, and my candle jar diameter is 89mm. With the wick when I sized down one, it was tunneling straight down the center. With the double wicks, it had wax left on two sides, not around the whole jar. I’m curing for about a day or two as I wanted to test burn. I’ve also uploaded a picture of my jar diameter if that helps! Also I’ve just bought some cdn wicks in 2 sizes (thank you for the suggestion!) and I am doing a test burn with them on some candles I made a week or two ago.

I’ve just uploaded a photo, it is made from moulded glass. The wax I use can take 12% fragrance load but I do 11%. It isn’t one specific fragrance I’ve been having this problem with, it’s all of them, which leads me to believe the wick is the problem. I use dye chips where needed, probably 2 for each candle. For the cure time, I’ve been doing test burns so I’ve only been curing them for a day or two. Hope this answers your questions

I have been testing wicks on my XL jars that have a 89mm diameter. First I bought the recommended HTP XL100 wicks, but when I burned it, it mushroomed, had soot and made the jar black. Second wick I bought was the next size down, which resulted in tunnelling. Then I decided to double wick, and had mushrooming and tunnelling. For this size jar I’ve heard that one wick should be enough. But the original one I tried failed as mentioned. Nothing I have tried has worked! Please help
