Old Crab Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Is it necessary when using 4786 to poke relief holes after a few hours?I have always poked holes, but I have talked with others, and done some searching online and it seems that many people don't do this anymore. pros / cons of poking or not poking holes Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well, with my limited experience with 4786 I don't see how poking holes would be necessary. Just let it sit for a day and do a repour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I use 4786 and don't poke holes, this is a container wax. 4625 is the pillar wax and I do poke holes with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Only time I poke holes is when using palm wax. 4786 does sink, so repour is good, but hole poking is probably not necessary with a primed wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Cajuns recommends to poke holes, then do the repour later. I haven't seen any airpockets in mine yet, without doing that. I also only poke holes in palm and 4625. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
