Probably a silly question


Recommended Posts

I had some extra long CD12s, so when I used/cut them I had so much wick left, I thought I would try my hand at "tabbing" the remains. My question is, does it matter which end goes in the tab?

I do not know enough about wicks to know if they are sophisticated enough for it to matter, with the way everything is drawn up through them.

Go ahead..laugh!

Nope it doesn't matter with CD. Flat braid works the same in either direction.

I aksed this same question of Candlewic and I was told there was only one wick that I needed to wick the correct way...that was years ago and now I can't remeber which it was. I'm thinking it was the RRD, does anyone know for sure? I always make sure I put the cut end into the wick that way I don't have to worry about it.

Yup, RRD is a directional wick.
