krystalkay Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Okay how did I do. These are my first attempt at a chunk container. Do I need to let these cure for 24 hours before I test burn?? Thanks for any help or tips!!You all have helped me so much!Krystal"]http://"]http:// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Not bad for your first try. If you're going to use an opaque container wax for the overpour, you might want to arrange the chunks inside some so that there are more chunk surfaces against the glass. That'll make the chunks show up a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krystalkay Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks Satin...I will do that. Also, do I wait the same amount of time (24 hours) to test burn these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc26 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 on the larger one it looks like you got a little bit of bleeding from the chunk. some people like the chunks to bleed a bit. To avoid that try pouring a bit cooler and or move the pour pot around to you aren't pouring over the same spot. I always wait 24 hours (at least) before I burn.

AnitaG Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Looks good, I wait over 24hrs to test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I believe it depends on whether you're testing for burn or scent throw. If you're just wanting to find out if it's the right wick, you can burn whenever. Let it cure to test throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krystalkay Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hello all and thank you for your replies. Thanks for the info on the test burn. That makes sense now. Also, I think I got bleeding because I had a few smalls holes and I was going to try and zap them with the heat gun and it bleed a little. But for my first time I just wanted to know what you guys thought. And once again thanks for everything!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmd Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hi Krystalkay!Can you tell me what wax you used for your chunks and your overpour? Also, what wicks do you use?I experiemented with Jj223/IGI 6006 50/50 blend and I can barely see my light blue chunks through the light green overpour. I am willing to try again, I just need more instructions!TIA for your help!gmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
