Debk Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I usually make 8 oz. soy candles and use CD16's. I have to make 50 4 oz. apothecary candles. Any suggestions on which CD wick to use for them? I usually have to go up one or two sizes for soy wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debk Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 They are 3 inches wide (round 4 oz. apothecary jars). The bottom is 3 inches. The top of the jar is 2 1/2 inches wide. It is 2 inches from the neck to the base but I usually fill jar just above the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I use CDNs and would try a 10 or 12. That shape jar holds in heat and has a narrower opening than base... plus it doesn't contain much wax, so you'll have to burn it all the way down to be sure the bottom half doesn't become too hot.
