TallTayl Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The things you find while looking for something else. Survivalists and reenactors shared how to make wicks from cotton, linen, etc. in this article. I knew salting the wick was a thing, but now I see borax and salt pretty much everywhere as a mordant. I don’t have any of those raw materials to try this out. Could be fun. https://joybileefarm.com/making-bees-wax-candles-how-to-make-your-own-candle-wicking/ Making a cord using a lucet looks like something i would never have the patience to do... if the apocalypse did occur it may be a handy skill though. https://joybileefarm.com/making-bees-wax-candles-how-to-make-your-own-candle-wicking/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Interesting but when do you have time to make wicks 🤣 Guess it's one of those things that intrigues just enough to make you want to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
