droidus Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I used soy wax in 8 oz jars. After a few hours of burning, this is what it looks like. Thoughts/suggestions appreciated, as this is my first batch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droidus Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Also, how can I promote a more efficient burn, so the wax towards the edges will also burn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldieMN Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 If you let it keep burning, does it continue to tunnel all the way down? Or do the sides start to catch up. If it keeps tunneling, I would try one wick size up. Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Tins get much hotter in the last third. Burn it to the end and judge then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Premier wicks. If I use, say, a 765 wick and have tunneling, I would go up to a 770. Here is one chart where you will see recommended sizes for different containers: http://www.theflamingcandle.com/wick-guide/ Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
