I use feather palm and glass glow from IGI, and have had luck with the square braid for pillars, and a CD for containers and votives. For the containers and votives, I have one size that works great for most of my color/scent combinations, but I do have to wick up for heavier fragrances or if I'm using a lot of purple or red dye. The pillars are trickier to wick. I may have to wick up or down a couple of sizes to get a good and safe burn. I'm always afraid of that one person that will burn a palm pillar too long and end up with wax dripping onto their antique dresser, or worse!
