Soya Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hello I am between wick sizes on a container. This is the situation.LX 26 does not reach FMP in appropriate time.LX 28 Burns too fast.Can I add less FO to the LX26 to speed burning? or Can I add a hardener (steric or beeswax) to LX28 to slow down burning?Thank YouHEY....It says I am a wax drip under my name! Ha Ha...That is too funny!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Unfortunately, I think most people just move on to another wick series in this situation instead of trying to change the wax. In the long run it is easier and more reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Brands Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 what is the melt point of the wax you are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 I just found out my partner is adding steric. She didn't know she was not supposed to add steric to the new wax. Guess its back to the drawing board for me.The meltpool of my wax is 111.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 You really don't want to harden the wax up too much or it will crack across the jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
