Wicking 16 ounce tin

[Pamaroma]

Gosh it's been a while since I've been omn here, but this is by far the BEST candle educational site. I'm reading and catching up and taking notes today. Plan to make citronella candles in 16 oz tins tonight. Going to test CD and eco wicks and decide whether to single wick, double wick or triple wick. Going to be a lot of testing which equals expense so any suggestions to start with would be helpful. Trappeur  gave me some advice on this once and I must have stupidly not put it in my notes, I'll look and see if I can find that post too. Going legally blind in left eye due to hereditary macular degeneration, so I'm having hard time adjusting with dizziness and nausea while reading and typing so forgive any typos. Spell check doesn't catch everything or either changes the words me. lol Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It's hot here in south Ga. But I'm doing really good considering all my health issues. ???? Much love friends. If any of you have facebook, I'd love you too friend me. Just send a little note letting me know you are from this site. My page is

In 16 oz tins I usually double wick with cd6.

Well, using 464 I use 2 cd4.  Hope this helps a bit.  What wax are you using Pam?

 

3 wicks in my opinion is way too many wicks as tins get hotsy totsy!

I should have mentioned I use C3 in the big tins and only make a limited amount of scents in them. The C3 and scents I chose need more oomph than 464 I found. 

 

I agree with Trap that triple wicking will make it pretty darned HOT.
