lilo Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi! I'm new to candle making. I'm using C-3 soy wax on "8oz" jar containers with a 2.88 diameter. I used Eco 12 as recommended on a candle site but appears to be over wicked (mushrooming, visible soot, weak HT). I Will appreciate any help/suggestions. I'm planning on trying Eco 10, Eco 8 and CD 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 How long have these been curing? It makes a big difference in burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Cd wicks worked well for me in C3. With eco I often needed to wick down, especially if the jar was less than 3” across. if you already have smaller eco I would do a wickectomy and replace it with an eco8 and burn to compare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
