LauraInNY Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Can anyone that makes mini grubby loaves tell me what wick they use successfully. I tested today and had an awful mess. I used 2 44z's. They did really well at the top going through the grubby part and then down about a 1/2 inch I had major blowout on the side. I ended with just a puddle of wax. This was after 2 hours and 1 wick trim after it got through the grubby.Any help is appreciated, TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolas Lights Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I made 2 mini grubby loaf candles, used two 51z and tested , had a great melt pool, no hang ups and didn't even get any mushrooms. Lucked up this time. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I've not made these, buy you two sound like you're talking about different types, one is freestanding(blowout), one left in the container(no hang up). Maybe I'm just confuzzled :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how I missed one key word "blowout" duh, either got to get my glasses changed or read more carefully. Now I'm gonna go back in my corner with my blankie. :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scents for me Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 2 CD 10's ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 what kind of wax are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillgunter Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 If you like zincs maybe try a smaller wick for votives, 36 zinc would maybe work better. Good luck:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraInNY Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 I used 1343 pillar wax for this. I would try the 36z but I don't have any of that size. I do have sample packs of CD's though. Isn't the CD10 similar to a 60z? I wonder if I should try a CD4 or CD5. I could try that and if they don't work, I'll see if I can get some 36's. Thanks so much for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
