Grani L Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I recently did a 50/50 blend using 464. All was well until it reached the 1/2 way mark, then the flame got really high at 2 - 3 hours and I needed to trim. I decreased the wick size, and the flame isnt as tall, but I don't reach a FMP as quick. My question is in order to rectify the tall flame and still get a good size FMP, should I add more soy or paraffin? I am using the 12 oz. status jar. Thanks Edited December 20, 2015 by Grani L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 You didn't mention which other wax you are blending with 464.You need to wick that jar for the burn the whole way thru the jar, not just the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grani L Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Sorry- blending with 4630. - Will the flame tame its self if it continues? I was using an HTP 1212. The flame grew pretty high and needed to be trimmed before 3 hours - with a nice Liquid FMP of about 1/4 inch. I put in an HTP 126 which the flame was not as high, and a totally different type of Melt Pool - it just made it to the sides, but from the side view, it wasn't completely liquid. I will burn it again tomorrow continuing with the HTP 126. Got a Big Mushroom with the 126 that I did not have with the 1212. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'm sorry, I have no experience with HTP wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
