Anna Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I am using this to wick my 20 oz apot jars.I really like this gadget for the speed of wicking,but I think it is wicking the wicks to far apart.When I moved the wick tubes in closer,the wicks are to close.Is there anyone else use this in apoth jars? Thanks,Anna P.S. it is the double one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi,I have the same issue, I read that you can send it in to them and they will make one for you that fits your container. Don't know if I am going to do that or not, but thought it might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I have the same problem for single wicking it is great but double wicking things are just far apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think I'll send mine back to them to fit my jar,that is such a hassel.My warning labels want cover the wicks on bottom,they are so far apart.GRRRRRRRRR. Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest highflier Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I made my own body out of a solid plastic rod. Put a hole in the center and then put the wick on 1" centers. I also machined the steps to fit each jar I have. I'm like you 3/4" was to close and 1 1/4" was to far apart and put to much heat in the jar.I can double wick 3 jars a minute. I also made acrylic plates that registers down in the jar that holds the wicks on the same 1" centers. I wick them, slip the plate over the wicks and fold the wicks over and my wicks are perfectly straight and tight in the jars.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
