Suggestion on double wicking, only get one shot.


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have been asked to wick a container that a girl has given me. She loves it and wants it refilled. When she bought it, it was double wicked. I've never double wicked before and told her I'd give it a go but since it would be too expensive for her to pay for all the wax/FO used to test it, she would just have to hope that it burned ok without being tested. I have told her there are no guarantees it wouldn't tunnel etc.

The jar is quite thick, 3 1/2 inches diameter and 3 inches high. It is round, with straight sides. I will be using CB 135, no dye and about 4% FO. I have HTP wicks in most sizes.

I want to err on the side of caution and risk it being underwicked rather than overwicked. I am thinking maybe 2 HTP 62 or even HTP 52.

If anyone has any experience double wicking this size jar with this wax and these wicks I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thanks
