Oh-MYo Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi all.it's been some time since I was here last.New idea: Now the wood wick idea just sucks. I know cuz I have been all over it, upside down and sideways.The one thing I did really like about it was the wide pretty flame.So is there out there a wide wick, half inch or so?As I understand it flat wick is braided so that it bends over as it burns, which may or may not be a good thing.I have experimented by priming several wicks together, even binding them together with cotton thread. So that they stay flat. Some success although I am still playing with it.So is there any wide wick out there?..or any other ideas on how this wide pretty flame can be accomplished?Nice to see ya'all again :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Well, there are lamp wicks - but those are made for oils:http://www.antiquelampsupply.com/category/237/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 not sure what you are asking but a wood wick looks simular to a popsicle stick. wholesalesuppliesplus.com has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh-MYo Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 well, no actually I was looking for cotton probably---like regular candle wicks----only wide..lamp wick might work---but would surely be an overwicked candle, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 yes i would think it would be way to much wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGirl Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I can't think of a way to duplicate the burn of a wood wick with regular wicking. The wood wicks I'm working with have a very nice burn to them they're just a lot of work to keep burning properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
