Elaine Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I made my first pillar this weekend and, thanks to the outstanding info to be found on this site, it turned out pretty darn good! BUT I tried using a CDN 14 and it was like a blow torch and so i rewicked it with a CDN 12 and the flame is still pretty high. The pillar is 3", KY votive/pillar, 8% FO. There are some puffs of smoke. Am I not using the right wick? Any help is appreciated, TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 You just have to keep trying smaller and smaller wicks until you find one that works. I have been using a CD 7 for a wax that burns similar to the KY wax. I don't know what that would be in the CDN series though. I don't remember the CDN sizes off hand but try one similar to the 6 or 7 if they have one. I read somewhere that both series run similar but the CDNs burn wider. HTH.

Elaine Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thank you, Jeana. I just wasn't sure if the CDNs were the wrong kind of wick to use in a pillar. I will keep testing!Thanks again~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
