advice on wick testing a 3 wick container candle using paraffin container wax


Recommended Posts

I'm wicking for the first time using paraffin container wax a 3 wick candle (just over 4.5 inches in diameter) using pure cotton wick - 30/20.

I'm having difficulty deciding how my wick test is going. I've just done a video of it - I lit it 2 hours 35 mins ago (first time burning it). I think the flame might be too small although the melt pool looks Ok, I think. Any advice would be great on flame size - how to wick for next time? Also, how to assess horizontal melt pool - i guess the usual 1 inch per hour doesn't apply to 3 wicks?

Here's the video - http://youtu.be/i2Wjti96icA
