Chemically treated wicks...


Recommended Posts

Do any of you more experienced natural wax candle makers find a deterioration of the non-chemically treated wicks in candles which have sat around for for long periods of time? Maybe 6 months or a year? I probably wouldn't be able to find the candles again to test with the dust around here! :D I imagine palm would be more acidic than soy.

I'm still relatively new to making soy candles. I've contemplated experimenting with palm wax,... the feathering wax looks so pretty!

Presently I've been using HTP's, cotton cores, paper cores (these 3 are A&P wicks), and hemp cores. Trying to find that perfect wick for my proposed containers. I use a 100% soy wax for containers.
