danno5717 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi all. I'm wicking a 3.75 diameter tureen. I'm using GW464 with 2 tsp/lb of coconut oil. So far I've tested a pair of RDD 29's and a pair of ECO 0.2's. In both tests I've had the wicks about an inch apart. The 29's were too hot, giving me a melt pool of an inch or greater. The 0.2's were too cool, leaving about 3/8 inch unmelted around the edge. What would you folks try next? ThanksDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno5717 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Should clarify, with the RDD 29's the melt pool was 1 inch deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquiO Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Sounds like your wicks are too small. For a diameter that big I would use an eco between 10-14 or a CD 12-16I wasn't crazy about RRD's in my soy applications but again you need to wick up to a 50 or 55. Here's a helpful guide that give a lot of valuable info on different types of wicks and recommended sizes for different diameter candles. You still have to test but it's a good starting point. http://www.candlewic.com/candle-wicks/pop-spools.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
