ladysj Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have a grubby loaf mold. I don't have any wick pins. So I'm looking for an alternative to them and since I've never wicked anything except molds with wick holes I have no clue as to how to go about wicking this. it is 6 1/2x4x3 inches. I don't know if it should be 2 or 3 wicks. I will be using straight paraffin. Any help or input will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without seeing a picture of it I would suggest wicking it after it comes out of the mold by drilling wick holes into it. With the length I would think at least 3 wicks but more likely 4. The best way to tell is look at wick chart of the wick you're going to use and then cut out 4 circles the diameter of it's burn and lay these across to get an idea 1. of placement and 2. how many you need.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
