i am using igi 4630, the max fo in this wax, and lx series wicks. I know you are supposed to trim 1/4 of a inch right? I swear i am trimming 1/8 or else i get soot like crazy. And now the wick is like shredding at the top and makes the sooting worse. i already have visible soot on my ceilings even though i just moved here 3 weeks ago. (Although i do burn several candles at once) Am i doing something wrong i don't think i can trim much more with out the candle going out. Just looking at that line of soot and flickering flame makes me want to cough and switch to soy.
