Hi again. Last night I made my first container, I used a cheap glass tumbler from Sainsburys it is 3.5" in diameter. Paraffin container wax from Candlelights, Cinnamon Strudel f/o (to die for!!), coloured red with dye block. The wick i used was either NT32 or NT35 - yes like a silly cow I forgot to take a note of which one!! Dohhhh. Anyhoo, after burning it for nearly 3 hours now I sooo very nearly have a full melt pool (YAYY) BUT although the flame isn't overly large or too small, and definately isn't smoking, its flickering! I have checked for a draught and there is none. Is this just one of those things or does it indicate a problem? How long should it take to get a full melt pool on a container this size? And if I don't get one have i failed ..... sob, sob. Anjie,x. OHHHH CRAP!! Just realised i posted in wrong section dohhhh! Can someone move this to General for me please - and i apologise profusely!!
