jwn6w Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Please help me. :(I made two cranberry chutney scented candles with 4 oz. 4794 and 12 oz. C3. heated wax to 190 and poured at 150. I wicked the 8 sided 10 oz. jars with Eco 6 wicks. When I test burned the candle it just burned a hole down the middle. I figured this meant that the wick was too small. I melted the candles in oven and poured into the same size jar but this time with Eco 10. I could not wait to burn them because I love this scent. Well the same thing happened again! What is the problem? I thought that this happened when your wicks were too small.:mad:I don't know what to try next can someone please help me out here.:sad2:Oh I also put 3 drops of burgandy dye in.

islandgirl Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Try doing a second pour to fill in any air pockets/holes that may be around your wick. I always do second pours just for that reason. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 You could try a larger wick size. Some FOs need more wick than do others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay2120 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I am not familiar with Eco wicks, but for that combo just an 8oz wide mouth jelly jar with no dye, but .5oz of fo I need to wick htp 126the wide mouth jar has a 3" opening, and any of my bakery scents, no matter who I buy from require a larger wick in the c3 for me.
