Kay Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I am considering trying Soy again.. :pI'm just going to start with Tins (16oz). I went on CandleScience.com & used their wick guide. They suggested HTP 1212. I have some of that (for when i was trying to wick palm) & well it looks sooo big. My tins are 3 & 3/4 in diameter. They also suggested LX 26's. What do you think? I am going to test, test, test of course...but just wanted other opinions before i went & actually poured my first one.P.s. I'm using Ecosoya 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amorelei Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I love CS and would hate to go against what they suggest, but I've found that anything 3" or wider in diameter works better if double wicked. JMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 see i'm the same..i love CS, but was wondering if it was to big. I will try it & if not i'll just double wick it with something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celicagtca Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Try (2) htp73's or the 83's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Maybe this thread will help a little with the tin wicking dilemna:http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8013I have some jars that are close to the same size as your tin diameter and can wick with just one wick and soy. Keep in mind when you are wicking tins, they will hold the heat much more than glass which makes helps explain why it can be wicked with one wick.

Candlebuddy Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 When I used 100% soy in a 16oz tin, I used an htp1212 ... it worked fine. The supplier that I bought my supplies from suggested an htp1312, but I thought that was too large. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now put in 2 HTP-62 (all i had in the house here) but not quite..i have to go up again...Great throw though...My whole computer room which is very large smells like Mom's Apple Pie.Thanks for the info..
