NightLight Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 What’s the diameter, three inches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I start at one size down for whatever I wicked jar with for tin as tins get hotter than glass. So you could start there. Pour a tester without a wick and drop in a couple sizes, see what burns best. You are adding dye, so that will affect the burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfroberts Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I've only used those wick types in soy/parasoy, and my mind is having a hard time making the transition. I'd be thinking along the lines of 44-28z (ish) or LX 14 (ish), so whatever would be the equivalent in one of your wick types...Eco 4-6 maybe.

I have zinc also, but every single test with zinc that I've done, in every wax...has absolutely sucked. Massive shrooms, etc. I'd like to try LX wicks, but don't have any samples to play with yet. I have a pre-emptive (and maybe misguided) hatred of zinc wicks. Edited October 9, 2019 by calan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
