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!

Thanks for your response! Wicking it in two parts makes a lot of sense. Only thing is I'm not sure how wicking from the bottom of the clock would work using the mold.
