IGI 1343 - 3" Chunk Pillar - HTP-83 Braided wick

Notes: Pretty good burn - about 1/2" of rim around the edge. Wick tended to drown out once it had gotten down about 2".

Recommendation: Good place to start, not bad, though a bit on the small side. I might try this one with an HTP 105, or perhaps a CD-22.

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.
