NANNALIN Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Where do you start, I did check the archives and maybe I just missed it. I use c3 soy and I have a 2'' round 6'' diameter container to play with. I have rrd47 & htp83 & htp104 wicks. This is just for my own fun.Linda;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Oh wow, I've never tried a 6" container. Maybe 3 wicks and try the htp83? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Those measurements don't sound right.Diameter is the measurement across, not the measurement around, so if it's 2" then you only need 1 wick. Measure across at the widest point of the jar. Example - If it's an apothecary jar you would wick for the measurement of the bottom part of the jar, not the smaller neck, where the lid fits.Most waxes don't need 2 wicks until you reach 3 1/2"s and above.

NANNALIN Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 I rechecked my container it is 3" deep and measures 4" diameter the walls are 1/2" thick straight sides it was a parafin it had 3 wicks but I just wanted to try 2 wicks I love this container, it is so plain but classy at the same time if that makes sense. I just hate seeing it holding potpouri. It needs to be a candle again. Now how goofy is that. Hubby tells the dogs to look out she'll figure how to get make candles out of them! They are safe for now I don't have anything big enought to dip 2 Labs in!!Linda:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 2 wicks should be fine then. Start with the smaller HTPs; the others might be too big. I use RRD 37s in mine, the 47s would be too big for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANNALIN Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks I will give it a try. To place the wicks should I divide the diameter in 1/3's ?Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy/WI Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 2 CD 12's work good for me with the C 3 wax on a 4" container. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
