IGI 6006 -4" Bucket - MC-3 Citronella Wick

Notes:Very large flame. Smoked a lot and threw a lot of scent from a deep melt pool, but blackened the sides of the bucket. When they were about halfway burned, the entire bottom 1 1/2" of wax was liquid and the wick shifted to the side.

Recommendation: TOO BIG...use the MC-1.

Submit YOUR wax and wick test results!
There are countless combinations of wax and wick and containers or molds. When you do a test of a wick, wax and/or container, use the user submission form to give me your test results. I'll post them in the Wick/Wax table for others to use and learn from.
