ladysj Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) I thought since there was testing for different type wicks & results that I would share mine using the LX30.This is the first burn after 4 hours. I can't tell a lot about the first burn but it looks like this may work. I'm wanting the candle to consume as well. I will post the next few burns & keep you updated on the results.It seems everyone is interested in test results for the palm wax since they are a totally different animal so to speak Anyway I hope you guys aren't getting tired of test pics for palm. If so just LMK & I won't post any other results.Sorry the pic isn't the best.Side view added not sure why the other photo is showing it yellow guess the way it was taken. I wasn't really going for the pattern affect here just testing but you can see some of the pattern. Edited March 19, 2010 by ladysj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindanelson Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I like seeing others work also. If that is a 3", I use the LX 30 also for palm pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Sorry I forgot to mention that it is a 3". I know when I used a LX30 with the palm from Candle Science it consumed completely but my first attempt with an untabbed unprimed LX30 with this wax from Peaks it didn't consume & eventually blew out.This is a tabbed wick so we'll see how it goes.

Where did you get the spooled one? You could check and see if it's snow white or has a yellowish tinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I got the spooled one off of eBay & yes it's solid white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I got the spooled one off of eBay & yes it's solid white.Regular LX is totally snow white. In the past, LX sizes 24+ that I've gotten from CandleScience have been specially treated for waxes like palm. That version has a slight yellowish tinge, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell once the wax coating is added.The palm waxes from CS and Peak are the same. It's very possible that the different results you got are due to different wick treatments in the spooled LX versus the wick assembly.
