Alycia Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 i have been having problems with my wicks lately. i'm using 32-24 cotton core waxed wick, also known as the C wick, from genwax since it was recommended for use in my soy blend wax. but the flame is really weak and my melt pool isn't reaching the sides of my 2.5 oz tins and glass jars. what wick should i be looking for? and where do you get yours from?

itsallgood20 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I'm not sure about the wick you're using but I would suggest either order some sample wicks from Peaks or another supplier...you can start with HTP's, CD's, ECO or Peak's Cotton wicks and start testing.

candleessence Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 It sounds like your wick may be too small. Im not familiar with these wicks or soy but from what I understand, I believe you need to wick up more then suppliers diameter suggestions w/ soy wax. I use palm (which is a veggie wax & I have to go up in sizes ALOT! Excellent suggestion to get sample wicks. When Im testing a new wax I get every possible wick sampler I can. Good luck. Do a search on here for soy and wicks and you'll get some good ideas on what to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
