Anna Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 The jar that I am testing is about to make me pull my hair out.It's called mustard jar.I use two 51 z in it.They burn good for the first half of the jar if I keep the wicks trim short ,then the wicks start to burn really low,almost drowns out.Has a full melt m/p and pool is 1/2 in deep.I don't know if I should wick up b/c of the first burns.Or should I try a differant wick?I am testing several differant fo,and they are all doing the same thing.The jar only narrows sightly at the top.It holds 20 oz of wax(J50).

Fern Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 What's the diameter of the jar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Fern,The only way I knew to measure the jar was to put a tape measure in the jar,it is 3 1/2 ins at bottom,and 3 1/4 at top. Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Ok...here are few wick suggestions. First off, I don't use zinc wicks so I can't help you with sizes for that type of wick but I can suggest some others. LX-28 or 30...will probably end up having to use a 30. CD-16 or 18 or HTP 104 or 105...or RRD-50 or 55. I'm pretty sure one of those is going to work for you, hope you have some on hand or can get some fairly quickly. Good luck!

Anna Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Fern are you saying to use only one wick of my choice of the ones you suggested? Thanks,Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I would only use one wick for that size jar. You could try 60z and see how that goes. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
