LisaMW Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I've been making pillar candles, some with igi 4625 others with 141, and I've mostly been using lx18 wicks. I've tried 27 ply on a few times with simular results. The lx 18 seems to have a smaller flame but they both seem to have a full melt pool by 2 hrs. I know these wicks are designed to curl and because of that it makes sense that one side of the pillar would melt before the other side, but I'm wondering if there is a wick that would give a more uniform melt? I'm sure this isn't all that important. I haven't had any overflow problems yet. It's really just something that I would find more visually appealing. I think I read somewhere about twisting the wick before you pour. Is that something that works? If so how tight of a twist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 If lx wicks work you should stick with them. I love that they burn in a perfect circle. Have you tried going up one size with the lx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
