craftyinala Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Does anyone double wick the 16 oz. apothercary jar with LX wicks. How do you decide how to space the wicks. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I space them a bit closer together, right in the middle--I use the EZ wicker tool to get it right every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 You don't say what kind of wax you are using, but start with (2) LX16's if it's paraffin or (2) LX18's for soy and go up or down from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I space them a bit closer together, right in the middle--I use the EZ wicker tool to get it right every timeSorry to hi-jack the thread, but I have a question for Jordan. Does that mean that you are using the two closest possible settings? (meaning one off from center on each side?I have one of those setters that I purchased about 2 weeks ago and I've not used it yet, but have assembled it and have been looking at the settings for my 16 ounce apoth. It seemed to me that to use the next setting out, which would be two holes from center respectively, might be putting the wicks a bit too close to the glass at the top upper rim. It looks like it would be fine once the candle burned deeper into the widest part. My concern is for the top part.When I put the plungers to the closet setting, the magnets at the bottom are basically touching each other. Is that where you have it?

craftyinala Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 I use soy and J223 blend. I also have the double wick setter but am confused at how is works. I have the rods in the line that comes down, the second one and the fourth one (counting from the top). The magnets do seem close. Thanks for any advice.

Luci Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Does anyone have an answer to Everito's question? I just got one of these today and would like to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Does anyone have an answer to Everito's question? I just got one of these today and would like to give it a try.Yes...when I double wick I put them closer together to keep the sides of the jar from getting too hot...this will make the magnets touching and sometimes they get stuck and one magnet will set down and the other does not. Just have to make sure they are even before wicking but they will be touching. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
