pjm Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've been looking through threads to get information about wicking votives. I have been making container candles for about a year, but I am wanting to try my hand at votives. I just order some 50/50 pillar/votive wax from Just Scent, some CD-3 & 4 wicks, and votive molds. However, I have been trying to figure out the best way to get them wicked. I do not have any wick pins, and thought I would first try just letting the wax cool slightly and then inserting the wick. However, I'm afraid I will not be able to get the wick to stand once it is inserted into the hot wax. Am I going to have a problem? Am I crazy for not using a wick pin?Thanks for any help!Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizF Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I definitely vote for wick pins. Votives are just so much easier when you use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondCreek Candles Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Just select a votive wick with tabs, as a matter of fact they have a votive wick with large tabs that fills the diameter of the bottom of the votive mold so your wick stays centered each and every time! Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
