nursenancy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Another project I have been wanting to try for awhile. Icouldn't be more pleased with them. They burned for 7 hours and not one drip.... I used local beeswax and a 2/0 square braid. I know I used too much wicking - the ones I made later I used less... Thanks for looking..About 1/2 of what I made today:At the 3 hour mark: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Beautiful. Dipping is such a lot of work!Why do you think the 2/0 was too much? My BW lot is quite thick and requires a 1/0 for standard tapers. All depends on your particular batch of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 no, i mean i made the wick between the candles too long... I think the 2/0 is perfect... I couldn't be happier with the burn...And thanks - they were alot of work, but SOOOO worth it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
