Munch Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Can I wick up too much to where the wick is too big and then I don't have a Hot throw? I've been wicking up to get the full burn pool and one of my candles had a smaller wick in it which left about 1/4 inch on the sides and threw great once lit. The full burn pools on most are not giving a hot throw for various reasons but that sparked the question. If I wick down, even if I don't get a full burn will that help my Hot throw? Curious to see if anyone had any opinions on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 The theory is that a too-hot flame is burning off FO around it. I have experienced the same thing as you. The only thing though, I would want that 1/4" to catch up and burn off further down into the container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munch Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Thank you SO much HenryK for a reply...Totally agree with it catching up as it burns down. I want my candles to burn all the way out to the edge. I had another bummer of HT experience this afternoon but perfect burn pool and fantastic flame. So will test the theory and redo this candle with a smaller wick to see if it changes anything. Appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
