    Try a few candles with 3-10% stearic acid added. You will find it much easier to wick. Only downside is the wax wont be translucent anymore. Also a 44 zinc wick works great in that wax. It mushrooms just like all the others, but the scent throw is a bit better, and because it has a zinc core I think its safer since the wick wont fall to the side.

      IGI 6006 is notoriously difficult to wick, especially in smaller vessels. A wick that seems to small after you light it can often be to big once it gets to the middle of the vessel. It’s a great wax but it requires a lot more testing to get right.

    Hello Jeff - I have a question concerning the 4627 Wax. You did a video a couple of years ago in which you cooled the wax to 130 degrees, then added the fragrance oil. You said it was to prevent the fragrance from burning off. In this video (same wax) you say to add the oil around 180 or so. Has the wax changed? Why 130 then and 180 now? Thank you.
