FAQ
How do I know the size is right? If a ring of unmelted wax is left against the glass (tunnelling), the wick is too small: go up a size. If the flame is very tall or leaves soot, it is too big: go down a size.
My candle with a 7-8 wick is tunnelling. Should I move to 8-9? If the unmelted ring keeps appearing, yes: try this size and check the flame doesn't get too tall.
