I can’t imagine starting over with cotton wicks. If you are going for a traditional wick, the Candle Science wick guide is pretty accurate for 6006. Be sure to cure before testing.

Gladys Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 I let it cure 3 days for the HT. For wick testing I light in 24-36 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wick tests are not at all accurate burning so soon after pouring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
