N3ff3r Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi, I'm new here :) I was hoping someone could explain in theory how a wick burned in different types of waxes works in each one. Lets say I put an lx 10 in a pillar paraffin say 1343. and I put the same wax in a container candle. how would the wax effect the wick performance?a lower melt point wax creates a bigger melt pool right? does that mean that it uses the wax at a higher rate than the harder wax? what are the characteristics of the wax that effects the burning?

Forrest Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Welcome, you will find a lot of knowledgeable people on this board. You seem to be coming at this from the angle of the wick being fixed and the wax varying, which is completely different from what I have seen here before. Perhaps if you rephrase your question it would help. Most people here select their container and wax and then vary the wick size and type to get the proper melt pool. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
