Gel w/ embeds & wicks


candleessence

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am making pint jar candles w/ 151mp paraffin & LP gel. I can't seem to find a wick that will work w/ both types of wax together. I tried zinc 51 & 60 but they keep ending up w/ large mushrooms which messes w/ the flame. Does anyone have good results w/ different wicks? TIA

It is a a regular pint Mason jar-not the wide mouth ones. I notice a mushroom after 45-1 hour of burning, the diam. of the jar is approx. 3". If I put the candle out, take off the mushroom & trim it, the flame becomes too small. I also tried HTP104 & 93's. The 104's were working great until the 3rd or 4th burn then unless I trimmed the wick super small it smoked :confused:
