ThisLittleLightOfMine Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) If my container is taller than it is wide ... Would y'all recommend wicking up? Or would it matter?

Trappeur Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Generally, the answer would be to wick down because as you are burning the candle and the further down that candle burns, the glass sides are generating more heat due to the height of the jar, thus becoming hotter the further down the candle burns. Hope that makes sense. Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisLittleLightOfMine Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yes !!! I wish I would have read this before I poured today! I have been wicking up because I'm using igi 4627 and I've read to wick up because of its viscosity but what you said TOTALLY makes sense!! I am using a 2.5" diameter and 4" high container for right now ... That's AWESOME I'm so so glad I asked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
