MilosCandles Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Anyone else as OCD as me. You line up every candle to make sure you can tell if all you wicks are perfectly centered? Anyone else hate when they knock it and find it the next morning off center. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah S Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Lovely! And you have them color coded! 🤓😆 I am never ever posting pictures of my candle-making process here. 😂😂 Think "Kitchen Nightmars" only with wax! 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I know what you mean by knocking the jar and having the wick go off center. Arghhh! Done that lots of times in the past until I got smart and got wick centering tools. Now I just wick it and forget it. You can get them in small, medium, and large. I have some of those metal ones and they move around too much for me. I prefer the plastic ones as they fit snug and won't throw the wick off center. I have a bazillion small ones for my 12 oz jars.

jerry Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I hope to be that OCD some day! Looks beautiful! @Candybee I know you've told us, but I forget - where did you get your nifty wick centering tool? I use bars and they move around so much for me.

I got mine years ago at Peaks before they closed. But I just found the small, medium, and large size at Bitter Creek https://cart.candlesupply.com/Wick-Holders-c-634.html CS has the wick setter tool for single and double wicking: https://www.candlescience.com/equipment. Plus I found Lonestar also carries the wick setter tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam W Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I use the wick bars to center my wicks but during the cooling process I do come back and check on the wick's position...if it looks a little off center, I adjust accordingly..........wiggle that baby if necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish someone would come out with a version that you could adjust to fit different sized containers---that would be awesome~~ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first bought the large size I also bought the plastic adjusters that can go on the ends to make them fit snug. They look like small clear flexible plastic ring fitments. They worked fantastic. Haven't seen those around so not sure if they are sold anymore. If I see them I will post a link. But I always thought it would be cool for someone to come up with a wick holder similar to these that you could adjust and could be easily locked/unlocked so that one size fits all.

I'd be interested as well. I use the salsa jars so its difficult at times to use the bow ties on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilosCandles Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 @Velma I designed them and then had them 3d printed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
