Belinda Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I triple wicked some jar candles today but none of my wick bars would hold all three wicks where they needed to be or at least it didn't look that way. What do y'all do when you triple wick a jar to keep all three wicks straight. Thank you for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I use ruler, paint sticks, chopsticks, whatever I need to span the distances. Clip the wicks to them with clothes pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 My biggest candle is 6 wicks in a 12” wide round ceramic bowl. I lay a stick for each wick at angles to make the “star” part and one across the middle. One clothes pin clip per wick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Skewers works well too. I wrap the wicks around them and lay them on top of the rim in a triangle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I use two craft stirring sticks with two two holes in one and one hole in the other. I use small hair clips to hold the wicks in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaranj Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hi Belinda. This may be helpful in placing your wicks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
