bearmnt Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 so I have started testing candles for bear mountain and the problem I have is that my 8 0z. tin has a HUGE flame. I have blown it out and re- lite the candle but the flame is still really big, which scares me. my though is that the wick is way to big for the container. its a 6" 51-32-18 in IGI 4630 pre blended paraffin.thanks in advance!

shimmerglo Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Trim the wick, that should fix it. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxcandles Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I was going to ask the same thing, did you trim the wick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 *agrees* That wick looks way too long. Just blow it out, let it cool as it's easier to trim when cool, cut it down and relight it. You should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmnt Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) thank you guys so much!! I was scared that I ordered the wrong size and would have to wait another week for a new order, as soon as I find where my chubby hubby took the lighter off to, I will let you know if that fixed the problem Edited October 21, 2010 by bearmnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
