katinka Posted January 6, 2006 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
topofmurrayhill Posted January 6, 2006 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
katinka Posted January 6, 2006 Author 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
