dustinryan2010 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Does this look like an acceptable amount of cling for a 1st 4 hour burn? I thought it was but someone on Facebook said it looked under wicked and made me second guess myself 🤦🏻♂️ Said I was relying on the warmth of the jar to melt the outer ring of wax instead of the flame/wick. I thought both of those things went hand in hand? Confused. Will post a pic of the hardened wax once it solidifies. This is also 6006 with a zinc 44-28-18, Caribbean teakwood fragrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 My best guess would be that if you don't trim the wick you'll have a FMP before the end of your second burn. I Just a guess, but if that is true perhaps a CD6 would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Feel like I may get a slightly better throw with HTP’s, but I don’t like the soot, curling, large flames 🤦🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish everyone just knew to trim and did it. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like HTPs but the curling is a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like HTPs but the curling is a problem. I just look for the upside down V on the side of the wick so I know that's the direction it's gonna curl, then just offset it slightly when I stick it to the container. I know people say 'why don't you use LX then blah blah it doesn't do that' but I don't think they're as good as HTP for the scents I use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
