HeavenScentU Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Does it? I think the wicks are a little too close to the edge of the glass. It is not my candle. I thought I would share this....[ATTACH]14726[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yeah I'd think so too, and I'm still a n00b to this. I wouldn't buy a candle with wicks so close to the sides because I would think the glass would get too hot and break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerinarkansas Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I've always heard that the wicks need to be about an inch away from the glass. Those look too close to me. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 I didn't want to expose the candle company that is selling these, but all of their double wicked candles look like they are too close to the edges... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxwench Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Too close IMO..........and I despise the look of doublewicking!It just looks "off" or tacky to me.Of course, I had some jars I had to doublewick and it drove me nuts! *super banana* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlascandles Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I didn't want to expose the candle company that is selling these, but all of their double wicked candles look like they are too close to the edges...Just curious.......why wouldn't you want to tell what company it is?

Stella1952 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I think many times folks are double-wicking because they cannot find the right wick to single wick. The only time a multiple wick should be used, IMHO is when the shape of the candle requires it or the candle is simply too wide to be wicked properly in any other way. Unless the shape dictates, I never consider a multiple wick for anything under 4.5" in diameter, especially in a container.Yep - those are WAAAY too close to that glass! Just curious.......why wouldn't you want to tell what company it is?Why drag 'em through the mud? I think the point of this post was to illustrate a safety problem, not to bash a fellow chandler. Perhaps they are learning like (hopefully) others are by reading this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, I would understand, my mistake, I thought she said candle company....which IMO if they are a company, they should have learned before they became a company. My bad.
