Sab Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 If you were going to double wick a 16 oz apothecary jar with HTP wicks, which wick would you start with? I'm using JS50/50 wax.Thanks, Sab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I would start with double HTP62 or HTP73 first then adjust up or down from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Listen to Kaybee - she is the queen of double wicking!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sab Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Thanks for the tip! I just poured with 2 HTP 73's. This is the first time I've double wicked. Using chopsticks to hold the wick in place after pouring isn't working well w/double wicks - I'm going to have to find another method.

Make sure they are pulled tight. Works great and is cheap!Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
