Judy, USMC Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I like the CB135 but I have a wicking problem that's driving me nutz. The only jar I'm having a problem with is the standard size jelly (2 3/8 inside diameter.) I don't want to sway you with the wicks I've tried. And believe me it's a lot. Some give me a 1/2 inch melt pool quickly - but the wick falls over. Bump it down a size and it won't give me a good melt to the side of the jar. Switch to a different wick - get mushrooming!Nothing varies - same wax - same FO - same %. I'd just like to know what works for you! (And to what length do you trim the wick before you light it off the first time?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 JudyI use CB135 to make my soy chunk candles. I pour them into the ball 8 oz jelly jars using a 44z wick. I have had no problems with this combo. Trim to the standard 1/4 inch before burning.HTH Candy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
