idahospud Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Has anyone wicked these using 2 wicks? I got some of the frosted ones, and I can't get them wicked with 1 wick. :embarasse Have tried just about every wick, I can find, and have been using 70/30 wax.

mystical_angel1219 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Is this a Libbey tumbler? I can try and help you, but I need specifics.Wick type and size, FO percentage and if you are using color would be a great starting point. Is this jar about 3 inches in diameter?

idahospud Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Not sure if it is a Libbey tumbler or not. No markings on the bottom of it. I got them from Fairway Glass. I was using GL 70/30, with 1 oz per pound of FO. I have not added any color to them yet. I tried HTP's and thought the HTP 126, might do it, but started smoking about halfway down. The cotton's did the same thing. It is 3" wide and 3.5" tall. Tried a LX 24, but the flame was really dancing. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotJustFragrances Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I have used those from Fairway and I double wick them, I used zinc in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 My guess would have been the HTP 126 as well, but if it started smoking then it may be too big. Go down to the HTP 105 and test burn for 4 hrs at a time. It may take longer to reach a full melt pool with the smaller wick, but allow it to burn for at least 4hrs.

topofmurrayhill Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Are you all sure you're talking about the same container? The 7.5 oz frosted tumbler is only 2 3/4" diameter. The 11 oz tumbler is 3 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I am talking about the 7.5 oz one. Just shy of 3" wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahuff Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'm not using the frosted tumbler, but I use an ECO 8 in GL 70/30 wax. There's a little hangup in the first burn, but it catches up and melts clean thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
