chiptooth Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I remember seeing some cute homemade wick dippers on the old boards and am trying to talk my sister "the bead queen" into making some simple ones for my show this weekend but not quite sure how to word the directions on the dippers. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 WICK DIPPERSounds funny, but practical!Don't blow out your candles. Use the Wick Dipper to push the wick into the molten wax. The flame goes out with no smoke. Then use the hook to center the wick again. The wick gets a fresh coat of wax and is easier to light next time.Don't forget to trim the wick to 1/4" before lighting again.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Does anyone know of a reasonable place to purchase some of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz D. Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Do you get the ones that are all different shapes, or the standard ones?Liz D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I like the classic plain one's from Clean Cut http://www.cleancut.com/Products/WickDipper.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotJustFragrances Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 On a personal note refuse to buy from them as one of the owners is also a founder of Gold Canyon Candles and I refuse to support anything that is associated with Gold Canyon Candles.I like the classic plain one's from Clean Cut http://www.cleancut.com/Products/WickDipper.aspxEdited to add: I did find the actual overseas mfg of both the clipper and dipper that clean cut carries. I hope to get them sometime next year. Waiting on the approval of a business load and you have to by 25000 of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Do you get the ones that are all different shapes, or the standard ones?Liz D.I get whichever ones I'm in the mood for. Is there a logical reason for the question? I guess I'm missing something in your question, since I don't know how it matters which ones I get. Blue Diamond, I'm curious. Why the hard-on for Gold Canyon. Curious minds want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's just the photo. Also one is more expensive than the other.Liz D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get what you like and what you think you can make a profit on. My market won't be the same as yours so there's nothing for you to compare.One of the most unusual mistakes a retailer can make is to base inventory on what someone else in an unknown location carries. My market will not be your market. I would guesstimate that 90% of your success or failure will be based on knowing your market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz D. Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm not asking what anyone likes or dislikes. I know what I like. Sorry I didn't make that more clear. Thought it was sorta obvious.If anyone else can comment on the quality of these different styles that would be helpful. Thanks!Liz D.
