LisaMW Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 This is the top of CW 141 with 6% fragrance and an LX20 wick, which is one size above candlewic's recommendations for this wax. The candle was burning for 4 hours. I have the same problem with 27 and 30 ply. I've tried burning a few candles a second time hoping they would even out, but no luck there. Before I spend a whole lot of money trying out different wicks, I was hoping someone would have a suggestion for what type of wick to try next. Would HTP or a square braid give a more even burn?

TallTayl Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 that's typical of a self trimming wick that curls to one side. you can try twisting the wick, though that never works 100% in my candles. the theory is the wick will unwind as it burns. You will probably benefit from just wicking down in this candle. ETA - from the camera angle, it looks like the wick is off-center. that will definitely cause uneven melt pools.
