First off..
You need to spin off the chucks in an area away from the burn area to get the excess fuel off.
That's the worst way to do it... other ways include using spin cans. (I should make a vid on how to make spin cans and use them for chucks).
Or you can use a plastic glove and squeeze the chucks to get the excess fuel off.
Paraffin is a very heavy liquid. You need to let the chucks soak for a LONG time before the first burn.. I'm talking hours. After that, you still need to soak for a good 15 minutes I'd say before spinning. Alot of it depends on how tight the wrap of the kevlar is.
The tighter you wrap the kevlar the longer it takes to soak... but the longer the kevlar lasts as it doesn't have as much give and wear and tear when they do hit the ground.
I believe you should get 3 minutes out of a burn with paraffin. I've done only minimal tests on the time difference but from what I have tested, paraffin burns for about 200% longer. I actually use twice as much kevlar as normal due to using naptha and my chucks are quite a bit heavier then normal.
It is entirely dependent on how much kevlar you used, how tight the wrap and how long you let it soak.
Trying soaking them for longer first.
Don't forget the spinning off!! That is so bloody well important with chucks as doing bounces provides a huge chance for fuel to come off the chucks and land on your clothes!
Also try large spinning motions for the first 10-20 seconds to let any excess fuel burn off before you get to bouncing and going crazy. Think of it as build up time for the drama
