Thank you everyone for all of the help. I have ordered a sample variety pack of wicks to test. I appreciate all the help!

the wax comes in 10lb slabs and is labeled "Crafty Candles" Parrafin Wax Melt Point 133-135... does that help any?

Hi! I am so sorry if this has been discussed a million times, but I have been reading this board for hours now and I just cant find the answer. I am fairly new to making jar candles and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what size wick to get to make a jar candle that is 16oz and smaller. The wick that I have and tested had black sooty like stuff coming off the flame and it also left the jar with a soot on the edges. So from reading here sofar I am using too big of wicks is that correct? Can anyone tell me what size to get? When I bought these wicks I just bought them because of the length...there wasnt anymore information on them but that. And please don't ask what kind of wax I use....there is only one kind at hobby lobby and that is what I buy... If ANYONE can help me I would really appreciate what size and where to buy them! Thanks in advance!
