Candlelovr Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I made that 4 x 6.5 chunk pillar and I have no idea what size wick to use! I have 30 ply flat braid, 24 ply flat braid, and #1/0 square braid, all cotton wicks. Do you think one of these will work or should I try a different brand? I only have experience with the cotton and HTP, but my HTP's arent long enough. Please help !! All I need is a place to start..Thanks so much!

Breanna Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I would try the 36ply flat Braid with this size pillar,,, HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlelovr Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 I was just looking at the wicks that Peak carries and it says that RRD wicks should be used for palm and veggie waxes. I have Astorlite F and OK6228, both of which are veggie right?*SIGH* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Sorry cant help,,,I stand corrected,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 There are other wicks you can use with veggie waxes, but I have no idea how to wick palm. If hawaiiansun doesn't see this you can drop her a line because i think she does a lot of that, or post in the vegetable wax section.By the way:Astorlite F - yes veggieOK6228 - no veggieJ-223 - no veggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 When I was making palm votives, I was ready to pull my hair out wicking it. It was suggested to use cotton core or RRD. Since sotton core was all I had, that's what I tried. Worked like a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I use astorlite J223 and its a veggie wax,,,sorry cant help with the OK6228. Someone will chime in,,, Actually, J-223 isn't a veggie wax. Its a paraffin pre-blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Heck I used the RRDs when I was playing around with the veg waxes. Got good burns with an RRD 40 and 47. I have a wide range of the RRD Candlelovr if you want to sample some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlelovr Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 That would be wonderful Scented, thanks! All the pillars I make are 4" wide, so whatever you think I should use! They will be used on Astorlite F Pillars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
