katinka Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi everyone, I have been trying out the entire selection of LX wicks and testing is currently considered a swear word around here. My question is this: Does it bother anyone else that the melt pool is uneven in terms of diameter becuase it is selftrimming or am I being too perfectionistic? What other alternatives are there for straight paraffin with additives in pillars that will give a centered, uniform burn pool?TIAKatinka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 It doesn't bother me. I love flat braid wicks and in pillar sizes they don't bend tremendously anyway.The alternative is to use a cored wick.Just a little nudge can center the melt pool. Cored wicks can get bent and be off also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katinka Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Thanks Top - I was hoping for a reply from you in all your wisdom;) . I think I'll stick with the LX's for now. They really are very nice to use, mainly becuase they don't mushroom!Katinka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
