psfponies Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I am not use what dia. your container is but it sounds like your wick may be to large. I would either try wicking down a size or go with a cotton type wick like eco, htp's or cd's. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Try a 44z and make sure you don't overload your wax with FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABYFACE CANDLES Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 OK I ONLY USE 1oz OF FO PER POUND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbhunter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 1/oz? From what I have read most of the liquid f/o are recomended as 1/2 OZ per 2 pounds but that depends on the wax and what the f/o load rating on it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbhunter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I stand corrected that wax (according to the data sheet) can have as much as 8% f/o load you only have 6.25% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I agree with Candybee, try a 44z, sounds like your wick might be too large. I use a 51z for a 3.1 inch diameter but I would wick down from there with a smaller diameter. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOrleansLady Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've just finished testing these out (I use 5050) and I found a CD5 or 6 was pretty much perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
