smellylittlemonkeys Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Is the wick centering tool suppose to be snug, like clip on top of the jar or is it suppose to just rest there? I just got my samples and the med is to small but the large is a wee too big, I feel like Goldylocks *laughs* The large can slide back and forth on the jar. Maybe I have weird jars??

topofmurrayhill Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Fairly snug is better because it's more reliably centered. Sometimes the manufacturing of the jar itself will throw it off, but a good fit is your best bet.They can do some custom sizing of the tool if you need it, but get some wide rubber bands first and see if you can adjust the fit that way.

Dolphin146 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks for the info I use 8oz JJ and mine is loose fitting. It seems that it doesn't allways hit the center of the jar. I will have to try the rubber band trick. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph in tx Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If you use the 8 oz. Jars, you should be using the Small Wick Centering Tool™. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Are you talking about the little bars that sit on top of the jar to keep the wick snug and centered when pouring OR the contraption that punches down to secure your wick in the bottom of the jar?

topofmurrayhill Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Oh I thought we were talking about the contraption that inserts wick assemblies. I see the question is about the plus-sign-shaped things with the wick holes.Those shouldn't move around too much either. If you got samples I think they might have come with the "adapters" that sometimes help with odd sizes. They're little pieces of clear vinyl hose that slip onto the 4 ends of the WCT to take up some space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellylittlemonkeys Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 I meant to update yesterday, or edit my message but could not figure out how to edit it. Robert was sweet enough to have me call him, or him call me to help me out. It needs to be snug and for some reason my apothecary jars are just a tad too small for the large yet too large for the medium. Robert told me about the clear tube trick and I will be getting some of that this afternoon. I am sure that will work just perfect. The tools look great and I can't wait to use them!! I am sure it will cut down on my wick fustrations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GretchenWy Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I bought one of those that are supposed to center your wick in the jar, not the plus sign ones, the other ones. But, it won't work on the tumbler I use. User error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
