Hey MBB, and everyone else, thanks alot for giving me a hand. So it sounds like most of you suggest trying different wicks. So as far as mushrooming wicks go,any thoughts on them? I wish that the wick suggestions on NG were right. I just dont have the money to buy a bunch of wax, wicks, fo's, ect to try different combinations. Not to mention, then if it doesnt work out, either your stuck with the candles or you can melt them out, but that is alot of work, not to mention, you already have FO's in the wax. So right now I have some Joy Wax, and Soy Wax onhand. I have a couple 16oz bottles of FO, and I bought 6 samples, which now are wasted, because I have poured them and cant hardly smell them. As far as jars go, I really have all types. I have a couple jars that hold about 1 lb of wax, and I have been puting 2 or 3 wicks in them, the opening is fairly big. I have alot of smaller jars with small openings. I havent been using votives, so most of the jars are around the size of a coffee cup and some bigger. As far as the melt pool, some have melted all the way across, and maybe 1/4 deep. What is the desired melt pool for the best scent throw? So as of now I have Zinc core wicks. If you all dont mind tell me what type I should use with my Joy Wax, and based on all of the other info I have given you maybe you can point me in the right direction. Thanks again so very much, Jimmy
