Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all, the reviews with candles full of flower petals, herbs, spices, etc saying that the wicks don’t burn right are because candles are not meant to have solids in them. They clog the wick and keep it from burning properly. Use those items in soap, not candles. #2- one wick = 1-2 inches of diameter of candle wax pool. You put a single wood wick in a 3” candle you will get a 2” pool of wax down the center and the sides will not melt. Candle science 101. You need to size your wicks for your container size and shape. The thickness of these wicks makes doubling them in each clip easy yet I prefer to space them in the candle in a triangle on anything over 3 1/2 inches. Keep them trimmed to 1/4” and you will be good to go. Soaking them in wax does help with the crackle. You must use candle wax with candle coloring and candle fragrance oil. Essential oils, perfume, crayons, old pillar and taper candles, free standing candles etc all burn differently and will effect how and if your candle stays lit and burns properly. It astounds me that someone will take 6 old candle remnants and add two crayons for color, sprinkle in some dried flowers and then pour it into a 4 inch jar with one wick and then blame the wick for not burning properly! If making candles was that easy then the good ones wouldn’t be $30! There is a lot of research and trial and error to it! Don’t knock the products you use when you are the one using them incorrectly!!! If you want to make candles and don’t want to research the correct way to do it, buy a kit.
