lhcandle Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hello, Im a beginner and i need a help!! Ive tried to make a container candle with nature c-3 wax. The container is 7.75oz libbey lexington jar and it has 2 7/8 inches diameter. What wick do you recommend? should i do a wick test after mixing with dye and fo? Also, it has to have a melt pool reaching to a wall of container after 2hrs burning? Or it shouldnt touch the glass? I checked how to do the wick test in youtube and internet. And it really confuses me.. 2 7/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I would start with either a cd12 or eco10 in that size. You dont want want it to completely reach the edges until a couple of burns in otherwise it will be far too hot by the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Wouldn't it be awesome to buy wicks that could taper down in size within the candle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will start with them as you recommended. Thank you so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Every case lot of C3 is different. Those are where I start. Every fragrance makes the wax perform differently too. It's a moving target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
