rjdaines Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The IGI website states for 4630: "Economical single pour blend in containers up to 16 oz"I'm not sure what the issue is with volumes greater than 16 oz. It is a soft wax and easily forms melt pools and in a few cases with taller containers, non-zinc wicks can start to lean. Not sure if this is the issue or not. I've also had trouble single wicking containers that are 4 inches and wider, double wicks are fine.If anyone has any insight into the 16 oz limit, I'd love to hear it.

Node11 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The way that reads to me is that it may require a second pour for containers larger than 16oz. Maybe less to do with the way it would wick/burn and more to do with how it cools, craters, and the top finish in very large containers?That's my take.

Flicker Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I've done larger than 16 oz by far with no issues and I can see no reason you can't use a larger container. Just be sure to always test burn for proper wick size/configuration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
