fredron Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Some time ago, a discussion was held with regard to a method for sealing the wick when pouring pillars. It involves rubber pads being pulled tight around the wick, thus sealing it. A photo was shown of the bottom of the mold, but not the top. I've attached a photo of my method for both ends, which should clarify the method. Also if anyone is interested, and will contact me, I can provide a kit which is shown in one of the attached photos.FredronWaxes 'n WicksLighting the world one candle at a time.

TwinMom Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 No wax will get on the wick at all? Perfect...I need to try your method... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 This is already on the market. It's called the Jiffy Wicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredron Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Actually, it isn't already on the market. The jiffy wicker is not sturdy enough to pull the wick tight enough to squeeze the rubber hard enough to seal the wick. I had one, and bent it the first time I tried it. The Jiffy wicker is used with a sealing compound around the base of the wick, not a rubber seal.I haven't had a leak since I started using this system.
