kssoaper Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Even though I am a beginner, I think this flame is too big! We made this pillar with 4045H, 5% fragrance and a lx 18 wick.... the funny thing is, even if we trim the wick and relight, it immediately jumps way back up... could this be from the fragrance - - too much? It's CS Hansel & Gretel (sp?) - smells great but I'm afraid the ceiling is going to catch fire!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Maybe the wick is too big, I would go down one size or two.I don't use LXs so I can't tell you more, but usually a high flame means a wick that burns too hot and too much, so try a LX16 (or a 14) and see.I usually put 5% FO in all my waxes so I don't think this could be the problem.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I don't use LX wicks either but I agree it's likely that your wick is burning too hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radellaf Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Is that a 2.5" diameter? For 4045H 3% I use a LX-14. The extra 2% could bump you up to 16, but likely 18 is just too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kssoaper Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's actually 3" diameter.... yeah, I think I need to go down a wick size... others we've used the LX18 in burn pretty good; again - big flame, and a pretty good mushroom. Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
