cybersix Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well, finally I got two wick pins from Peak!I ordered two pillar wick pins, 3"x10", since I have 3"x9.5" round aluminium molds.The wick pin doesn't go thru the wick hole!!!!Seems it's to big, so now.. I can't use my new wick pins!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I had the same problem with mine Sabrina. I just used an awl (that's like a screwdriver, but with a pointed end) to open my wick holes a little. Worked like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin'Hot Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Sabrina,This is how I use my wick pins: I use mold sealer and tape to cover the hole in the mold then place the wick pin inside the mold. After I pour the wax, I tap on the mold to release any air that might be trapped under the wick pin.Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
