hellen Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'd love one as well....even a really good site that explains everything about the different wicks, what they best suit, diameters of candles etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie04 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The wicks unlimited site has some really good info on it.tootie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have a Candlewic sheet that explains some things. However, there are so many wicks and so many waxes that you really have to experiment. Do a search on this board for topofmurrayhill and you will find some very interesting info on wicks. He has tested a dozen....or a million (smile)...Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMom Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions. I know there is tons of info on this site and other sites about wicks and wax I was hoping there was a book to have on hand to look up information too. Like when you get a wax and mold or container look up the best wick size and wick style to start testing with etc. I will check out the posts though, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everglowcandlesandgifts Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I haven't heard of one either, it definitely takes a lot of research to find out information about them all. The Wicks Unlimited, like suggested above, does have a lot of good info to look over though. Let us know if you find anything. I think your best bet though would be to just search google and take notes along the way. Perhaps search for different areas of wick definitions (like search for "wick diameters" or "wick materials", etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I just looked in my studio and I can't find it.....but several years ago Candlewic sent me a brochure that lists all of their wicks and recommendations. Call and ask them. If the person who answers the phone doesn't know....then ask for Ellyn Daniels and tell her what I told you.Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
