7 Pawz Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I ran across this video for wick testing, never imagined doing this, but looks like I will try and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 This is a good starting point, but I wouldn't rely too heavily on it. For instance it will not tell you how that wick will burn IN the container and once it's gets to past halfway down when things can start to go wonky. But as said, it will at least give you a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Way cool !! Thanks. What a great idea. However, I am way too frugal to just keep the pan of wax. I would take photos, lots of notes and then melt the wax down and reuse it....just because. What a great use for some of my dead cake pans that end up holding garden plants!!

Candybee Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) That seems all very interesting but I think I'll stick with wick guides. I already get a pretty good starting point with my wicks that way. I was trying to hear who he was and what candle company he represented but the sound was too muddled for me. Anyone know who he is? or what company he's from? Edited November 12, 2014 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought to test that way, I've always used the tried and true jar/wick combo, but just out of curiosity I might try it, go from there, already have enough notes from previous testing with my jars and waxes that will add to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've maintained notes from previous testing that I could compare, so it's just another experiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use the cake pans to make my chunks for pillar candles. I can either make a chunk candle or weight out what I want to use for a particular type of pillar candle, since I recycle pillar wax that is given to me.

Candybee Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So it was Early American Candle Supplies. http://www.earlyamericancandlesupplies.com/ There used to be some posters here that bought supplies from them. I never tried them. They are in Pennsylvania which is where several candlemaking suppliers are like Candlewic, Backwoods, Candles and Supplies, Peaks (east coast distribution center), and Fillmore Containers.
