scentlady Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I make candles from baby food jars but am not real happy with the burn. Have tried 44's which seemed to hot and 36C which were just ok but seemed like they were going to go out but didn't. Now trying LX10. Has anyone else wicked these jars successfully? I want to use them for baby shower baskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I use LX 12's in my soy/paraffin blend votives......so for your baby food jars, which are a little wider than a votive I would start with an LX12 and see how that does. You may need to go up to an LX14. Of course a lot depends on what wax you are using, but this should give you a good starting point. Have fun!!
