Tracey Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Good Morning All- I use ky125 wax and am in the process of testing with the 12oz Status Jars. I currently use 8oz square mason jars, but have a request for the status jars which could turn out to be a great opportunity for me. I have read some posts about wicking the status jar with various other waxes and it seems they can be a challenge. I was hoping maybe someone out there has used the KY125 in these and has some suggestions for a starting point for wicking. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Ravens Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Tracey, I do not use the KY 125; is it an all-paraffin or a parasoy? I use the Status jar and my waxes are paraffin, though I occasionally use 6006 (parasoy). The wicks that give me the best performance are zinc wicks.Hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Tracey what kind of wicks do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 A good starting point would be a cd12 for light fragrances a cd14 for heavier I have also used a 60 cotton and a 62 cotton wicks.You can purchase these wick at Rustic Escentuals.

Tracey Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks Barbara - KY125 is a soy/cottonseed blend (this is sold through Rustic Escentuals). I have a wide variety of wicks in my collection. I use mainly CD's and CDN's. I also have HTP's and Cotton wicks. This jar has proven quite the challenge.
