Wicking for the Anchor Hocking pumpkin containers

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.  Bought a case of the Anchor Hocking large clear pumpkin containers with lids.  At the widest point, they are about 6 3/4" across.  I use a  60/40 paraffin/soy blend (my own blend) and am using 8% fo--pumpkin pie from OT.  I've got zinc, cotton, CD, HTP, and Premier wicks.  I was thinking I should probably use 3 to 4 wicks for this width.  I will be coloing the wax. 

Do any of you have any starting point recommendations for wicking on this huge container?  Thank you all!

Wow, that is a big one.  I do a 5 1/2" round crock and I use 3 cd8 and some scents 3 cd7 in 464 wax.   The 3 cd8 burn a little hot.  I also spread my wicks out a little further too.  I don't think I could make a suggestion as I don't use that wax.  Sorry.

Hello, where did you get a case of them from, if you don't mind my asking? Thanks!
