hawaiiansun Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 1st time doing tins1st burn was for 5 hoursThis is 2nd burn about 4 hours this time. J223, 51z , Jamaica Me Crazy there is some soot from when I trimmed wick the first time and some hang up.

sharyl55 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Val, I had a hang up in one corner until the 5th burn in my sq tin. Don't think you need to worry about hang ups. It'll catch up. I'm on the 6th burn now - about 37 hrs. Sure looks good to me. Can't tell about the sooting from the pic. Bet it smells great. I used the low smoke 21 zincs and so far no soot / smoking. The last burn will tell the story. That's where I usually have a sooting problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSuzyQ Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Sunny-I think it looks pretty good. I have burned one in the tin for about 4 hours, and have a little hang in the corners, but I think it will catch up in the near future. Good job.

Beth-VT Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Like Sharyl said, I would burn it all the way down before you decide. I'm getting a bit fuller melt pool across the flats than yours appears to, but the corners still don't catch up till I'm about 1/2 way down the container. I'm using a para/soy blend and diff. wicks, so that's probably the difference. Keep burning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Looks good to me. How is the flame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Looking good so far! Those tins can really heat up in later burns, so definitely keep burning it to see if it catches up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 That looks like a good burn to me. The 60's are in the mail don't think you need them. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It seems to me that as a candle burns down & the flame gets deeper into the container, that's when the hang ups seem to catch up. In this case, no criticism necessary. Burn looks good. Love the square tin w/ the rounded corners. How wide (from edge to edge, not corner to corner) & how deep? Do you mind if I ask where I can get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
