tjaramillo Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi all. I searched for the answer to this question and found only an answer with regard to paraffin. So, here goes. I'm testing square palm pillars 3" and I'm having a tough time with the wicking. On some, after a 6-8 hour burn, it's leaving a 1" rim on the corners, and a 3/4" rim on the sides, using a CD12. My question is, on these square palm pillars - what do you expect from the melt pool? Should I just expect a 1/4" rim on the sides, and a larger rim by the corners, i.e. 1/2"? I mean, a 1" rim on the sides, with a 3/4" side rim seems too big for an eight hour burn . . . it's the same size as when I burned it for my initial three hour burn. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Corners always present problems. They are unlikely to just gently collapse toward the inside and self-consume, soooo... the corners will be thicker 'cause melt pools are round.I generally use a CDN 14 on our 3" square & round pillars.
