MrsM Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 HiIm new to the site and candle making. I have been reading all the posts for weeks trying to gather information in helping me.My question is.....Ive been testing a candle FO Baby Powder. The 1st 3 burns smelt wonderful filled the room with each burn, but the last 2 burns no smell, and no CT either.Why did my 1st 3 burns work and now nothing?Oh each burn time has been 5hrs and using CDN 22 in a french metro jar, 10% FO, 464 wax, cured for 10 days.Thank uNicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 There can be a lot of reason for that but the most common is you wick is to big and you scent is actually burning off. The closer you get to the bottom of a jar the hotter your wax is going to be while burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsM Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks so much VickyMy 1st candle was with CDN 20 and it was just too small, didnt burn to the edges and was mush. So Im guessing a different brand of wick might be needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
