Bellevan Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I feel like this a bit of a silly question, but I haven’t been able to find an answer by searching around. I know that trimming wicks to 1/4” is generally optimal. But I’ve been wondering about wicks that curl after an initial burn. Do you treat them as if the wick was straight when trimming or do you account for the bit of curl and give them a bit of leeway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I trim to 1/4" regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 With my cd wicks I just pinch off the amount that has burned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner14jc Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I trim if they are curling. I found that if I don't there are times where the curl falls into the wax on the next burn. 1/4" every time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The curl seems to inhibit the second burn, so I trim them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
