Guest amynleebishop Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Ok......I am having issues with the J50 and the wicking. FYI: 16 oz mason jars with a 3 in rim, I usually use the CD 14's (heinz core) but everyone said to wick up with J50 and I did that with the CD 20's (also heinz core) . I tested and the wick mushroomed so I wicked down to my 14's. Those also mushroomed. I wicked down to the 51-32-18's which is a zinc core. Those are also mushrooming a little but they are all causing alot of soot. I am so used to my candles burning clean......I have always used the 14's and never had soot issues like this.....then again I have never used this wax b/4.....could it be the J50? Is this the way it burns? Any suggestions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I use J50,and have no problem with it,I use the 16oz apoth and I use differant size wicks in them.It depends which fo I am using.I use zinc wicks.you just have to test and see which wick works.I use in the range of 44-24 to 51-32.When I get a new fo I make a wickless candle,when it harden,I make a hole,stick a wick in,if not right,jerk it out stick another one in,but I'm sure you know all that.
