ladysj Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 What type of wicks do you use for these candles? I'm wanting to get an idea of what the most popular wick seems to be. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Mine have been doing well with HTP 104. I also made my first 3" the other night and used that same wick. It worked ok with 3" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoscentsworth Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 With Jazzbo on the 3 zincs.....these wicks seem to hold up better in the long run. After a bit the gel soaks into the wicks and they can slump, the zinc seem to stay straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Interesting. I've used 2 wicks before in a 5 in but never 3. Will give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoscentsworth Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Luci, the hardest part for me is getting the wicks placed correctly . Your burn will also depend on how you make your pies. I usually pour in the gel, just to cover the wick tabs, then if my wicks are off a bit I can move them. Then I add the embeds around the wicks to hide the tabs, then cover with more gel. Then if it's an apple pie, I add 3 slices on the top, fanning out.Blueberry I do a bit differently. I used to add more gel ....back in the good old days when gel wasn't as expensive as it is now. Now I add more embeds . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 That's pretty much how I do mine. The one thing that I really have problems with are lattice-type crusts. I find those hard to properly place wicks with. That's why I'm thinking of trying 3 wicks with those. I previously thought that 3 would be too much. I'm going to give that a try if I have some 51z wicks around here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
