Hi,
Can anyone please tell me - according to the attached photo - does this candle has too thick or too thin wick?
The wax is just about to drip off.
I did some experiments with flat braided cotton wicks: 18, 24, 30 and 36 ply and it actually behaved similar for all: the wax melts and sometimes drip.
And also: For a candle with more fragrance (essential oils), in general, shall I wick up or down?
And for a candle with more color, shall I wick up or down?
Some technical details (though I don't think it has to do with my questions):
Kerasoy 4120 (70%), white beeswax (30%)
Lot of color as you can see
About 1% essential oils
Candle diameter is 13 mm
Wick is flat braided cotton.
Thanks in advance,
Eyal
