sawdustcottage Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I have always used the 44-32-18z's in my pint mason jars without a hitch. I ran out of them and attempted to use an LX22. Talk about FRUSTRATING, folks! I have a brand new bag of the LX22's and only used them once (for a pillar) and I think I am doing something wrong here. The first wick I put in and attached with my little piece of skewer to hold in place, melted. I took the jar out of the oven that was set on LOW and as soon as I moved the wick to straighten out the skewer, it pulled right out of the tab. Ok, so I tried again, this time sticking the wick and wick stickum in the jar after the jar came out of the oven. Same thing. Should I not use these puppies at all for containers? Yikes.I have ordered my 'ol 44z's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 when ever I used the wick stick ums that happend to me also so now I use a hot glue gun. When I am done testing the hot glue comes out pretty easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I have some LX wicks from Peaks that do the same exact thing. You can take a pair of pliers and pinch the bottom of the wick tab to help tighten the hold on the wick. This is the only thing that worked for me.
