kandlekrazy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Just wondering how they perform and if they burn differently than paraffin coated? It would be nice to have a natural wax coating.With Candlewic's sale going on it's a good time to do custom wicks, but don't want 500 of something that won't work.

islandgirl Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Don't know about the bees wax.. But interested also..Thanks for the heads up on the wick builder sale!! I must have missed the newsletter???:rolleyes2 I need wicks as I stuck all my wicks with the defective stickums from BC !!! :tiptoe: They stick to the wick until you add hot wax, then they float. So right now I have hundreds of wicks stuck with stickums and don't feeling like yanking them all off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I've always used the beeswax coating on all the wicks I get from Candlewic. I just like the way they burn and have never had any problems with them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I use to get the bees wax coating but changed to the high melt. They hold up a little better while getting tossed around and in the jar. But the bees wax is good and burns just fine. I use the cd wicks with the 20mm base and 3mm stem too. Already ordered my wicks, missed the last sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that the beeswax comes off the wicks if they are tossed around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The Beeswax is a softer wax than the high melt and breaks easy. At least if you are not careful. Mine were always in a mess all tangled together. But the high melt wax just stays straighter IMO. HTH... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy/WI Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Can someone tell me if there is a big difference in the burn from one coating to the other? As far as burn time and if you would have to change the size of your wick. tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks eveyone for the replies.Thanks Cindy for the question because that was my original intent to find out if there is a difference in burn so I know if I need to retest if I do go with beeswax, it doesn't seem like you would really notice any difference.

racolvin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I use the beeswax coating on my LX wicks from Candlewic. I use them in my GW464 wax and they've worked wonderfully for years now. It's been too long since I used a paraffin coated wick to be able to tell you if there are any differences tho, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
