jackbenimble Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Gosh this candle has been giving me headaches today. It's been going all day. Just trying to get it evened out. I may need bigger wicks but I'm afraid later on in the burn it would get too hot. Maybe back off the FO to 1/2oz. This photo is to a secret Pinterest board.

ChrisR Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 How is the HT? If that's good I would leave it as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 How is the HT? If that's good I would leave it as it is. HT in my bedroom was medium. This was a second day burn too. I'm wondering if it needs to cure more. I'm going to continue with the testing and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have found that double wicked containers that curve inward at the top are prone to wick drownings and being too hot. Solving for one leads to the other. HT is generally good with the hotter solution but melt pool depth can also be an issue (too deep). I've even tried manipulating the melt point of the wax but that doesn't help much.Just keep trying different wicks until you are happy with the burn.
