  1. As far as the wicking, I've found a combination that does not pool to the edges on the first 2 hour burn but does on additional burns. The only containers I've used to date are 6oz or less, so I don't waste too much while testing. It seems lke it may just be my wax/FO combo's. I've given a few out to testers(Friends and Family) and they've ruled out candlenose. Am I doing wrong by adding at 150 degrees or covering when cooled?
  2. Ok, I've been testing for a few weeks and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've matched wick sizes to containers to get full melt pools. Here are some combination's I've tried. IGI 4630 FO - 1oz. per 1lb of wax Fruit Slices - Peak Cranberry Citrus - Peak FO - 1oz. fo to 10oz. wax Georgia Peach - Peak Gardenia - Peak Ecosoya Advanced FO - 1oz. per 1lb. wax Strawberries & Champagne - Lone Star I have added FO's at 175 degrees and at 150 degrees. Typically pour at 145 - 150 degrees. Some candles were covered immediately after being poured, some after cooled and some never covered. Some lit shortly after cooled, 24 hours after, and 1-2 weeks after pouring. I'm starting to get a little frustrated now since I have yet to have a single candle throw scent while hot. They have great cold throw. If anyone could let me know what I may be doing wrong, please let me know. Ideas are welcome and I'm willing to try anything at this point. I've tested several wicks from Peak and Lone Star including wooden wicks. Thanks in advance.
