Stella1952 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Wick 44-28-18c cottonTry a CD.1.50 ozTry using 1 oz. pp. Too much FO can make the wax more difficult to burn.The scent is very very lightIs this a light or heavy scent to begin with? If it's a light scent, longer curing may help.about 4 ozWhat is the inside diameter of the candle at its widest point? The number of ounces is immaterial.

rjdaines Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I am testing 464 for the first time myself in 8 oz and 16 oz apothecary jars (4" max diameter); best guess for wick was HTP 1212 based on my experience with 3 " CD Advanced. Not getting a complete melt pool. I could go one wick size higher but am now leaning towards a double wick set up. Since the mouth of the jar tapers in from the widest diameter, I am now concerned about the placement of double wicks. Only thing I can do is to try it. NO FO or color has been added at this points, so adding those will not make the melt pool any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
