CountryGal Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have bought candles that the wick was left untrimmed and curled. I realize you have to trim the wick before you burn it, but how do you get it curled like that? I am going to make some pillar candles and would like to do that. Thanks.

Rsvlbrat Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Do you have a picture? You could wrap it around a pencil, just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I wrap mine around a pencil. Oh.... there is no such thing as a stupid question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryGal Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 LOL, well it seemed dumb to me, but when I wrapped mine around a pen it slowly unwrapped. if I zap it with a heat gun quick would that help? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joym Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 After you have made the candle, hold the end of the wick and twist. It will curl down on itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
