Candle Kitty Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Someone was asking the other day if a taper could be double wicked. I went ahead and did it show how to do it.When you get the tapers about half the size you normally would before you finish them off, lay them on a piece of wax paper, roll them just a couple of times and then taking your fingers, flatten them out slightly.Once both tapers are flattened, gently push them together and slow twist them together. Once you get them twisted to your liking, dip them once in the wax to set the candles together, roll gently on the paper and then dip a final time. Before the candles harden completely, straighten the candle and then let it cure.I can tell you now, these candles can sometimes be very messy to burn, two different wicks twisted into one so the best way to burn them is in a taper holder that's sitting on a plate so it can catch the wax.

Candle Kitty Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I always let my tapers set overnight before I burn them, so when I start burning tomorrow, I'll snap another picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
