2rottndogs Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm not only a fo ho... but I'm a fo ho with a wick issue. I have all these blessed wicks and no place to put them... testing, testing, testing...1,2,3... testing???? That seems like all I do is test. All I want to do is make candles.:undecided I want to wick the darn jar, pour the darn jar, and burn the darn jar... am I really asking for so much. Why can't this be easy... why... WHY!?!?!?!*faint* Just a small melt down. I need to relax before I work myself into a nosebleed. Kimberly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnygirl Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I often find that I have every wick that is known to man, except the one I need. :rolleyes2 LOLOLOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rottndogs Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 You guys are too funny! My husband keeps telling me "here a wick, there a wick, every where a wick, wick." Then I get to hear how I'm having *wick - ed* issues. He is so not *wick-ed* funny.:rolleyes2 Kimberly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni S. Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 You girls crack me up:laugh2: :laugh2: I guess we're all in the same boat?? Yesterday I felt like throwing all my testers against the wall cuz nothing seemed to work right. Guess that's when we just need to walk away from it all for a bit. How simple life would be if we could stick a wick in a container, pour the wax and we're done.... NOT!Maybe one day there will be the perfect wax with the perfect wick:rockon: :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Not only do I have every wick know to man but I have every cut piece of wick I ever trimmed off. Plus zillions of wick tabs....just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ok, Sharon, I thought I was the only nut who kept all those little (and big) wick pieces...what are we thinking? Will we ever actually add tabs to any of them? I have used a few in shallow candles when testing (you know yank out the one that's not working and shove in a piece!)

Ramaroa Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Nope your not alone, I save all the wick bits. I often use them up by making tealights for myself, using leftover drippings of wax from cleaning the pour pot. Nothing goes to waste.

2rottndogs Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 I don't know what my issue is... this is like when I collect laundry detergent. I just got an order from BTC... I apparently felt it neccessary to order MORE wicks!*faint* Not only that... but I have another order coming with even more wicks!! What the Hell was I thinking!?!?!!? *asking myself* Was I in a coma when I ordered them!?!?! Kimberly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Maybe we should all post a wick exchange in the classified section of this forum! Sounds like we all have tons that we don't even use. I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I've come up with a use for those little bits. My neighbor slices off 2 inch slabs from those pre-formed wax & sawdust logs and used them to start the charcoal in the grill. Trouble was there was no paper wrapper left to light and start this slab afire.So now he just puts a small slit in 2 or 3 places in the slab and inserts a wick. No fire starting fluid or wads of newspaper needed! He swears by it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
