Wicking for Long Cure Times


Recommended Posts

As soon as the furlough is over and I get paid I’m planning on making a quantity of candles that I will allow to cure for six months or more. I have test results to compare a two week cure time with a two month cure, and based on that a candle cured for two months needs a bigger wick, maybe a half size bigger. I’m guessing that as a candle cures the rate of change slows. Based on this I estimate that if I needed a half size larger wick at two months I would need a full size larger wick at six months. Can anyone with some knowledge or experience in this area please give me an opinion on this? Naturally I’m a bit worried about making a wicking mistake I won’t discover for six months.
