kari357 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Try starting with CD-8 or 10 for the 9oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baisey Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hello I haven't used any cd wick yet yes and no additives in the ky125any suggestions at which wicks for 9 and 16oz. apothecary jars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacien Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 If I am correct its the 10oz apothecary jar? So its the flatter wider one? I would try to double wick with two CD 12's to start because those are pretty wide jars. There is no way you can single wick those with soy wax anyone who tells you different must have a pretty special trick up their sleave. Then work your way up. I use 415 and the melting pot jars which are pretty wide too. The 10oz jar in that style I wick with a CD 20. The 16oz I double wick depending on the FO between CD12-CD14. With soy if the diameter is over 3 inches it is usually double wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotmama Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I use HTP wicks in my soy candles. If the jars are the ones I'm thinking of the diameter is about 4", right? Go with a HTP 1212 or HTP 1312. The latter burns a little hotter however and needs to be blown out more often and trimmed, but it does create a better melt pool.Mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
