valerie6 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi,I keep reading on the best tip ever about twisting wicks and was wondering what exactly it is and why it is done. Have been making candles for about 8 yrs. and have not heard about this one yet.Thanks so Much!!!Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliette Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi Valerie,I use flat braid wicks and twist them. When burning the candles it helps keep the burn centered instead of leaning to one side. HTH. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 So this technique is not twisting 2 wicks together just 1 single wick?To me it just sounded like more the one wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yes. Just one wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjello2000 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 It is just like Juliette said. I went to BCN's Convention back in May. They showed this to us in a demo on pillars. So I have been trying the same concept in containers. Works pretty good. But of course, what works for one person, might not work for someone else.
