Wax & Wick Combination Tests & Results

WAX - IGI 6006

Container Wick FO or EO Results
4" Bucket
MC-1 Citronella Wick
FO used at 10%

Burned well without being too much of a torch. Still smoked quite a bit (it's supposed to) without blackening the sides of the bucket.

4" Bucket
MC-3 Citronella Wick
FO used at 10%

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.
