sparkette Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 How do you do it? I got wicks from BC already primed and would like to know if there is a secret to get them perfectly straight and erect (pardon the word) :embarasse . Please help!

TxGirl Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Use a wick clip to hold them up straight when you pour the candle. Or some people use clothes pins and such to hold them straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkette Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 What about in votives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonswix Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I roll the wick on the table. Put the wick tab off the edge and roll the wick under your hand or hands depending on how long the wick is. Roll it like you were making a snake out of play doh (if that makes any sense).

Gdawg Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 for votivies I use the wick pins that you place in the jar, that way I know it will be centered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Whenever possible, I use wick pins.When I can't, I use Bowties.When I can't use bowties, I use a piece of stiff wire and clothespins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
