valerie6 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi,So I found out that the astorlite fh is a palm wax, so i was wondering if anyone knew where i should start with wicking which type of wick would be best, I have not yet worked with this wax love the way the feathering looks on the outside! Oh, I am going to be making pillars with this was aprox. 3 in. in diameter.Thanks so much,Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to do a little research, I could be wrong here. If it's true, not sure how much testing you want to do. I've found that the HTP and CSN wicks work the best with Palm in general, although never tried Astorlite's. And you really have to wick up.

Did you get this recently, or had it awhile, because I thought it was discontinued about a year ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindys Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I have made 3" pillars using palm feather from CS.I have found that a csn12 works great with some and a csn13 works great with others. You have to test. I went up with the denser fragrance, I was not getting the shell effect I wanted from the 12 with some fragrance.Its well worth your time the candles are beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 We've been using CDN wicks in our palm pillars for several years sucessfully. Try a 14 or 12 for a 3" pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerie6 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thanks so much for all the info, how thick should the shell be to get the effect you are talking about?Thanks,Valerieoh, I got the wax from another chandler that was going out of business.
