RWV Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hello everyone. Bought a case of the Anchor Hocking large clear pumpkin containers with lids. At the widest point, they are about 6 3/4" across. I use a 60/40 paraffin/soy blend (my own blend) and am using 8% fo--pumpkin pie from OT. I've got zinc, cotton, CD, HTP, and Premier wicks. I was thinking I should probably use 3 to 4 wicks for this width. I will be coloing the wax. Do any of you have any starting point recommendations for wicking on this huge container? Thank you all!

Trappeur Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Wow, that is a big one. I do a 5 1/2" round crock and I use 3 cd8 and some scents 3 cd7 in 464 wax. The 3 cd8 burn a little hot. I also spread my wicks out a little further too. I don't think I could make a suggestion as I don't use that wax. Sorry. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
