chrisasst Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Is there a cd wick that is comparable to an lx 14? I use wax 4794 with lx14 that does good, but I need to do an order from WSP and they don't carry lx wicks..I have tried a cd 8, but I get really no melt pool..should I try a cd10? those that use igi 4794 what wick do you recommend?

Ingrid Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 What are you making? I use 4794 for my votives and use a CD5 or 6 depending on the fo I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisasst Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 votives.....I get a good throw with cd8 but it still leaves one side unmelted...cd 5 or 6 don't do anything for me for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I use 4794 with HTP31 or HTP41 wicks. I also use 36 or 44z wicks with good success, just don't love the mushrooming. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisasst Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 the last wicks I got were htp 31's and they pretty much drown out..I don't understand why you guys can use the wicks ok but they won't work for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Try the HTP41's if the 31's are drowning out. I use them with a lot of success. Usually, what I would do is use the 41's with the heavier FO's, like vanillas, sandalwoods, or sweet ones. Oh, the joy of candlemaking.
