wick???


Recommended Posts

that's a touch one ... for me anyway. I have a 7x7 that I make and have one cooling right now. The one I make is for a restaurant & I wick it so there is a wall - don't want blowouts and when it's burned down about 3/4 I bring it home and remelt & repour & rewick. The staff will not hug so it tunnels. If it were mine, I'd be hugging that baby.

I'm on the 4th time and here are the wicks I've used. (So you could work down from there)

HTP83 - this one started bulging about 1/2 way down

The HTP, I turned so that they curled toward the next wick making a completely round melt pool. I might wick this next one with HTP73 and see what happens.

Some others here have made 6x6s so maybe they'll chime in.
