pjm Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I found some great square glass jars (approximately 18 oz) at the Dollar Tree. I poured 100% soy with Pumpkin Pie Spice. Added some dye chips and used 2 CD-10 wicks. I get a perfect burn until the last inch of wax. At that point, I am starting to get some slight sooting. Nothing too major, just wondered if others run into that and if I should wick down. Am I being too picky?Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 That's not unusual. The wax can get hotter and burn faster at the bottom of the container, plus sometimes there's more air turbulence.The only way you can go wrong with testing is to not do enough of it. The fact that you're asking the question means you should probably be pouring. Wick down and see if the candle will burn down well without the sooting at the bottom. At least you can compare the results and see what you think is better.If neither one is really satisfactory, you could even try a different type of wick.
