Joannec Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi,I am attempting triple wicking again and wondered if anyone can tell me about placement of the wicks please?I have attached a picture but I think I might have placed the wicks too close together? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzie Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yes, I do spread mine further apart. When I place the tabs on the bottom the metal pieces are just barely touching one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannec Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks for reply. The metal sustainers I used was quite small and I'm pretty sure I had the 3 metal sustainer's touching. I think I will use the bigger sustainer's next time and place wicks slightly wider apart.I think the wicks might be abit big as I achieved a full melt pool on the first burn.

rjdaines Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Spread them out further in a equal triangle pattern, how close to the edge will be trail and error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynthia3030 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Keep the wicks 1 inch from each other. The wicks in the picture are too close together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
