iluvsoy Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Could anyone that has experience help me out with premier wicking? I am trying to wick an 8 oz jj with c3 wax - 7% fragrance oil and 2 dye chips per lb. I have tried 750 -not big enough no full melt pool by 3rd burn. 755 same as 750. 760 not too much better but ok. I like the way the 765 burns but I did test the 767 and it was way too hot and mushrooming really bad. Is 765 about right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Sounds about right to me. Burn it the entire way thru the candle to get your answer. And, as with most soy waxes, you need to let the wax cure for 4 or 5 days at least. This isn't to test the FO throw, but rather to give the wax a chance to fully set up. Same wax, same FO, burn it on day 2 and burn it on day 7 and you will get a different result with your wick testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I checked my notes and the Pre 760 and Pre 765 is what I used with C3 and jj...I would test heavier fo's with the 765 and see how the 760 works with lighter oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
