Quentin Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Greetings, I've been gone from this forum for a few months. After my father died in August, taking care of his final affairs became a full-time job. Anything candle related was set aside. Once I had that behind me, the tenants at my rental house skipped out on me. They trashed the place, and getting the property back to a livable state is my new full-time job. Anything candle related was set aside. Straight to my question about wicking non-square jars. Wick charts only provide information for round candles. My jar is square. It's dimensions are: 3.25" X 3.25" side-to-side and 4" diagonally. How do I go about adapting the charts to a non-round jar like this?

Sebleo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I’m starting to work with square jars too. I came across a great guide for it a while back. As soon as I find it I’ll post it here. Found it! https://www.lonestarcandlesupply.com/candle-making/candle-wicks/using-multiple-wicks-in-a-candle Edited March 5, 2020 by Sebleo Found it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Sounds like a great job for a wide, thin wood wick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I played around with some squares. I found two wicks didn’t quite cut it, but was using C3. When I was fooling around I still got Hangup in two corners. I think if you do a paraffin or some soft Parasoy blend two could cut it. If not Maybs 4! You have to test!
