Burning Weird

[SideDoorSoaps]

I made a couple

candles and we’ve burned only one. It’s a 70% beeswax / 30% coconut oil blend. The scent throw hot and cold are lovely. I don’t know what size wick it is, I used one from a stash I got from a friend. The jar is one of those oui yogurt jars. Maybe my wick is too big? After awhile, the melting wax smothers the flame. I have a ton of beeswax I’d like to use up.

Tunnelling (which this is) is usually an indication of a wick that is too small.

I agree with LilyJo, looks like the wick is too small. With beeswax you need a bigger wick, and one that burns hotter than with other waxes.

Thanks. I actually did mean too small. I’m gonna check out my other socks and see if I have larger.
