scrochet Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I would wick up and see what happens. If you still cant get what you are looking for try HTP wicks. Thats what I use with 4630. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Cellar Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Try it without the dye. And I use 1 oz of f/o per pound of wax so you can cut your f/o down also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
