VickiB in CA Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Was happy to hear this and know a few others had wanted to try these but were held back because of Wick-It's 1000 minimum wick requirement. So I emailed them and got this response. Woo Hoo! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dear Vicki We have a distributor that carries both our Zinc wicks and the PREMIER 700.

VickiB in CA Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 I noticed on the Aztec site that they don't recommend them for soy waxes, but this is the information from the manufacturer: Premier 700 Series Wicks Premier 700 series Cotton braided wicks for all candle types Our newly developed Premier 700 Series of candle wicks offer many of the ideal burn characteristics that you are looking for in a proper burning candle. The premier series ability to bend while burning contributes to a cleaner burning candleThe premier Series have been found to work very well in Natural and Soy candlesThe premier series are coated with our High Melt Point Wick Wax for added stability in poured candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hmm, well maybe I got excited too quickly, the smallest wick they have longer than 3.5 inches is the 765 which is too big for my jar candles. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 The 765 just barely gets to the edge of my square mason. I think it would work for a jelly jar. I have'nt been testing lately but VickiB has maybe she'll tell her results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I mix a little paraffin with my soy, it looks like a 760 is the right size, which of course is one size too small. If it was straight soy, probably 765 would be fine. (hex jar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiB in CA Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'm testing a 3" diameter straight sided jar right now with .8 ozs of Essential Oils only and using their largest to begin. Will post results if that's helpful for jelly jar users. Their largest is WI-798. It's unfortunate that Aztec only carries certain sizes because no doubt I'll be needing one that they don't carry! :undecidedI'm testing double wicked apothecaries right now and it'll be somewhere around WI-770. Hadn't seen the response as to whether or you have to wick up when adding 3% BW or 1 Tbs of Universal Additive. Anyone know?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlegurl Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I think you'll have to wick up using beeswax...but I'm not sure about the universal additive - never used that before. hth Stacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Usually you only have to wick up if you use more than 5% of BW. I've always used 3% and never had to wick up as a result of using that amount of BW. I've never used the universal additive so I can't say what effect that would have on the wicking.
