chrisasst Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 ok are these wicks basically the same----> Pre-tabbed Cotton Wick (44-20-18) vs. (44-24-18 zinc) I know one is cotton and one is zinc. Not sure what the difference in the 20 and 24 is? I have used the 44-24-18Z in my votives(igi 4794) and it gives a hugh flame and a big mushroom..and in soy it doesn't burn hot enough...I was just curious if I should waste my $ on the 44-20-18 ones?

Henryk Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 The second number is how tight the braid is. So in this case the 24 would be a tighter braid - and all things being equal (you aren't comparing cotton to cotton but cotton to zinc) the tighter the braid the less fuel it will consume.(A good example of this is the squares - I've read somewhere the wicks with the # and the /0 are the same - the difference is that the # ones are woven looser.)HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
