JuliaK Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi everyone! This is my first post but been following you for a long time. I am using 20%of coconut wax and 80% of C3 wax in my blend. I used two stabilo 5 wicks in this candle. I have been testing it for couple of days and now once it got nearly to the bottom I've relight it again this morning and the wick has bent and fallen into wax. Does anyone know what is causing this issue? I would be very grateful for any help/advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 You’re at bottom of candle. Not enough solid candle to support wicks. You’re wicking with two wicks and have large meltpool. what jar is that - looks like you might not need tow wicks if it just under three inches. If so try one wick.

JuliaK Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thank you very much! I’ve tried with one wick but flame was sooting and if I wick down it was tunnelling. I am now trying with C3 wax on its own. Do you think it might solve the issue? And yes, jar is 2.8 inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 You need to do a candle burn for three hours with each wick. If it’s sooting sounds like you are wicking too high and not doing a long test burn. People single wick C3 with one wick all the time. Go to the wick down and burn three hours then make decision. You can also try different wicks. Some waxes do better with one wick series versus another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
