jnewport Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have been using the ecosoya pillar blend for votives and tarts. They come out looking great but seem to melt thru when burning leaving wax around the sides and then burning the wick out. Any suggestions? Should they burn this way?

nursenancy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 What wick are you using for the votives? Are you burning them in a tight fitting votive holder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewport Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yes, I'm burning them in a tight votive container. I have used HTP 41, 52 and LX 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I use a CD 5-7 for my Ecosoya PB votives, depending on the mold & FO I use. They burn completely with no hangup. How much FO are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewport Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 I tried using 1 oz and 1 1/2 oz fragrance. What is a cd wick? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Do you have other wick sizes available? I use lx's 20's in my votives. However, I know alot of other people use smaller lx's with this wax for votives. I tab and prime my own wicks, so I think that's a factor. You probably need to wick up at least one size. Have you tried to utilize the search function here? There is a wealth of information that can be found by searchingHTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
