AntoniasCreations Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ok I want to try these but right now I am not sure what to do. Ok I just got some CD wicks from TCS size 4, 5, 6, 7 and was thinking I would be able to use these for my votives and also my balmoral 4.5oz jars, which has a 2 1/2" diam. Well I think they must have labeled them wrong or something. I started with a size 5 and 6, well after 45 mins I went to check on the ST and the 5 had a complete MP about 3/4 inch deep(first burn)so I blew it out and the 6 looked good well after 2 hours it had just a slight hang up on the sides. And this happened with all 5 different FOs I poured. So yesterday I went back and melted down all the ones I used a 5 with and changed the wick to the 4 I have and I am testing some of them right now but I got to thinking that if these 4 work in this jars how are they going to work for a votive? And I dont have any 2 or 3 because I thought they were for tealights and it seems the only place I can get them from is a lady off of ebay without having the buy 3000 of them.So I was hoping that someone that uses CD wick can please let me know what they use for their votives, I have searched but the only ones I found were people who use LX wicks. The wax I used for the container candles was EL Millennium Blend with UV, coconut oil, liquid dye, 7% foAnd the wax for the votive I will be using the EL votive wax.Now I know there are not a lot of people using this wax but if you use CD wicks can you please give me an idea of where to start. Thanks so much.Antonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
