heartofsoy@yahoo.com Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 what size and type wick is working best for you in a 10-12 oz apothecary container using soy wax and how do you like using the ez bow wick setter or the ez wick setter. I am willing to invest into either one but am looking for feedback......thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blt212 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I just got the ez wick setter the other day and I love it. It's quick and easy to use. Definitely worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 As I wrote previously, I use the bow ties and find them very easy to use and helpful.Without knowing the kind of soy wax and additives and inside jar dimensions, no one can really recommend a wick with any reasonable accuracy. http://www.wickit.net/index.html]WickIt has a great reference chart - simply click on one of the wicks that interest you to locate it. Is you search the forums, you may find more information there as well.You will have to do your own testing to discover what works best for you in your wax, with the additive you choose to use, using the melting/pouring temperatures that you use, with the FOs that you use. No two handmade candles are the same! Testing is something that never ends.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
