millaphoto Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hello everyone!I am a new candle maker and was recently given a candle from Diptyque as a gift. The past few months I have spent my time playing around with different wicks, waxes etc and I was surprised to see their wick, something I never saw before. Attached is a badly taken photograph, hopefully you can see, I will also try to describe it to the best of my ability. At the end of the burn I noticed they actually used TWO wicks attached to two separate plates. They were somehow braided or tied together into one, but at the end of the candle they met as two completely separate wicks. I did like the scent throw a lot and was wondering if it had anything to do with their wicking technique? Is anyone familiar with this way of wicking? Again, I am very new to candle making and my question my sound really dumb to some but I still can't help being curious since I never saw this before.Many Thanks for your time!

Daves'sHomemade Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 For $60 to $68 that wick should be able to pour a candle on it's own.............For that size candle....wow!I think I should start promoting a French line of candles.................I need to learn to speak French.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well the photo is up but I'm afraid it's too blurry to really see what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
