Kelley Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I have been trying to wick a 3" square pillar. It's made of 4625. I have tried flat braid wick in the 24, 27, 30, 36 and recently stuck a 45 in the thing just to see what it does. I can't seem to find a wick that doesn't blow out the sides @1" down. Is it possible to wick these molds to have a nice burning candle that doesn't blow out or leave a big shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfly Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Mine have always left a shell. (I don't like the blow outs!!) That is why I don't offer them but do enjoy them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I make the square pillar and I use the 24ply flat braid,,,I use the 4625 and they burn fine,,,It is very important to do relief holes,,I have not had a square pillar blow out on me,,,I also hug my squares just like I hug my rounds just a wee bit different,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelley Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 I guess I was asking too much to have a square pillar burn self consuming like a round. A shell is normal then?Thanks for the quick feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 A square cannot be self consuming due to the corners. You will always have a shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
