gmp Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I had read a thread somewhere recently about the importance of not only keeping your wicks trimmed, but to get a clean sharp trim, not a sloppy jagged edged trim. Well, knowing that has made a world of difference in my testing! I went from billows of smoke to a happy flame in a matter of minutes.I just wanted to say thanks for the info!

SatinDucky Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Wow! I'd never heard that. I guess just snapping the black part off doesn't count. I guess I'll have to try actually cutting the wick and see what happens. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaP Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I learned from the very beginning especially with gel candles...turn your candle upside down..an clip the wick with either toenail clippers or tiny sharp sissors. Not only do you get a pretty little flame but...that nasty black stuff doesn't fall into your candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
