Lisa Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Can anyone help me with a heart shaped mold? it is about 5 and half inches wide, 3 inches high. Can you tell me a good wick to start with, it is a 3 wick mold, How do i get my wicks in? I am confused on the wicking part. Thanks for all the help.

MaryinCary Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have that mold and hate it. I've used 1343 and although they look wonderful, they are not something I would consider anything other than a "novelty" candle. I started at 18 ply flat--nice if you only burn for about 2 and 1/2 hrs. Tried a 15 ply and that was good for about 2 hrs and 45 min Went to a 9 ply flat....thats about as good as it gets for slightly over 3 hrs. Anyone want a heart shaped mold-LOLI use metal tape on the bottom and cotter pins on the top to wick that damn thing. My wick pins are too big at the bottom for that. Now that I think about it...you could seal off the bottom of those wick holes and drill the wick holes and try the LX series. That might work, but no way would I bother with it.

SatinDucky Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 From the sound of it, I'd probably try just wicking before pouring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
