littysmom Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Have a question, i made a batch of candles last night using a new FO Lavender Herb, I test burned a candle this morning usin the same wicks for the other candles i have made. I am using 3 in diameter jars with 51-32-18z . I imagine that i must go up a wick, correct? The wicks that i have are HTP 52 and LX14. What do u recommend? Also before I make any more blunders, what FO require you to wick up? I think vanilla and cinnamon to name a few, right. Also have RRD 55 wicks. Thanks Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon WY Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 You could use the next size up in zinc or you could decrease the percentage of FO. When I used this oil, I used 7% instead of my usual 8%. The HTP52 and LX14 aren't going to do the trick and I don't have any experience with the RRD's. Yes, you usually have to wick up with cinnamons and vanillas- when you get new oils you can tell by the fill level if they are on the heavy side which can help you to decide where begin with wicking.
