Smokin'Hot Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ok, here is the large Walmart glass after many hours of burning. It's obvious that the LX24 wick is not large enough. There is so much wax left on the sides it isn't even funny.Prairieannie - No, this is not an acceptable burn for me...not even close. I agree this should probably be a 2 wicker candle.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I find with most squares I get a better burn with 2 wicks. One wick for me doesn't reach to corners or I have to wick so large it gets to hot and burns to fast. If it's small enough you should be able to find a single wick to work. Maybe some wick that is larg enough but doesn't get to hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaG Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks for posting this. I'm still trying the small jar like this. Going to get it right one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Square containers are cumbersome to wick.Try 2 smaller wicks- placed on a diagonal for a container that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smart tart Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 maybe try a zinc wick - I have poured several of these and had no problem single wicking with zinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fern Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I have had very good luck with two LX-14's, using J223, with several fo's that I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
