Leveling top os container candle

[craftyinala]

I am having a problem when I use the heat gun to level the tops of my container candles with the wax melting off the wick. How can I prevent this? TIA

Try to get more to outside and not Directly on the wick,,,thats what I do,,someone will chime in,,,HTH;)

I just make sure and keep to the edge of the container avoiding the wick. Sometimes I accidentaly get the wick but it burns just the same. hth

I dont think you can diminish the problem as long as you are using a heat gun. I used to do that, but decided that the time and trouble it took me to use the heat gun, I could have a done a repour in half the time, and had pretty wicks too. JMO

It doesn't matter if the wax is melted off the exposed wick. The reason for priming a wick is to force out the trapped air before you can use it and make a candle around it.

Thanks for all the help.

Does anyone know the website for the wick setter that was advertised on the right side of the board several weeks ago? I made a note of site and have misplaced it. I did a search and came with nothing. TIA

Note: Was trying to do a new post and as you can see I didn't know what I was doing and now I don't know how to cancel and do it right.
