Hi all,
Looking for some wick size recommendations for a custom silicon mold that I will be creating. I am looking to purchase the following waxes to test:
ProBlend 650
LX Series recommended by The Flaming Candle
BW 921
LX Series recommended by CandleScience
CBL 141 Ply
2″ Diameter - 18 Ply or 21 Ply,
3″ Diameter 24 Ply or 27 Ply
4″ Diameter 30 Ply or 36 Ply
(as recommended by Candlewic)
I'm still unsure which sizes I should purchase to test as the silicon mold is a bit complicated. The thickness/diameter of the mold is about 2 inches, but the actual width of the candle is about 6 inches. I'm unsure if I should wick according to the thickness or the width. Or a combination? Was wondering if anyone would be able to help me narrow down which sizes I should buy of the LX and the Ply. I've attached a picture of the mold with the exact dimensions. Another question I had was where I should string the wick because there's a hole where his legs are at the bottom. Any other helpful tips you want to add to tackle this project is greatly appreciated as well. Thank you in advance!
