Tracey Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Anyone use KY125 in 9oz hex jars? If so, what wicks are you finding that work best? I had used htp 104 and 105 a few years ago and they worked wonderfully. of course now they have changed and don't work nearly as well. I have been testing with CD's and seem to be having some problems with them-I have a good strong flame and scent throw for about the first 1 1/2 to 2 hours, then the flame weakens along with the throw-I still get scent throw, but not as good. I am frustrated with how small the flame gets after that 2 hour mark. I noticed that they "self trim" themselves shorter than I would trim them normally. Trying to figure out the problem.ThanksTraceyAny suggestions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy/WI Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I use 100% soy wax and with the 9 oz hex jars I use either RRD47's or RRD 50's for the heavier scents. Burns very clean no hang up in the cornors. HTH, Cindy/WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Oddly enough, I just had a friend send me a few RRD47 and RRD50 to test out. I have had a few that I went as high as a CD18 in and couldn't get a good pool or full pool with-they just burned oddly. I put RRD50 in one and it started smoking after about 15 minutes-not bad just puffs-put it out and put in the 47. I got a great pool, excellent throw-but one thing, after about 5 hours my melt pool decreased quite abit and I noticed a little soot on the rim of the jar-that could have been from the 50 and I didn't notice at that time. Not quite sure if the 47 was too hot or not hot enough---it was out to the edge after 2 hours but not real deep yet and was looking really good close to the 3 hour-I didn't check it much until 5 when I noticed the melt pool very shallow. I am going to burn it again tonight and see-there was quite a bit of hang up from the previous wick and the 47 took care of it so thinking that may have something to do with it.Thanks-the timing was awesome!!!!!!!Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 I do use the 60c in quite a few of my fragrances. In some they just didn't do it-I tried the CD's and am having some problems getting them to burn right-that's why I looked for some suggestions.Thank you so much for helping me!!!!!!Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
