deronda31 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Have another question about these wicks. I know that most wick suggestions are based on paraffin use. But these wicks seem to be made just for natural waxes(palm, soy, etc.). So is the suggested wick sizes for jars geared more for natural or paraffin waxes?? I use Ecosoya cba and they seem to work fine at suggested sizes! Am I doing something wrong?? Just was curious since I know some wick the 11oz tureen jars with rrd 37 or 40's and these are way too hot for my applications. Maybe it just has to do something with the additives added to the wax too??Thank for any response!! Deronda:cheesy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Suggested sizes could work depending on who's suggesting them and what they base it on. In the end what matters is your own testing. Don't worry about the people using larger wicks - CBA is easily a wick size or two down from most soy waxes. On a summer day in Arizona with the windows open, you may not need a wick at all.

deronda31 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 LOL Thank GOD, I'm not in that kinda heat anymore. Thanks for the input, I just wasn't sure why I wasn't having to wick up like most do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've been using the CBA for almost a year now ( and testing others ), and I find it to be one of the easiest to wick and very consistant. Oh- and I use RRD's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
