bebedahls Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi everyone. Im going to start wicking candles this coming month....test test test. Ive decide to go to jars and havent found a jar that i fancy. I saw these http://www.specialtybottle.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=149 and liked them but thought i should ask the experienced veterns if this particular glass jar would work, and if so what wicks should i start out with to test. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 That depends on what wax, FOs, dyes, additives you are using and the inside diameter of the container and its depth. More info, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebedahls Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 I plan on changing up my wax to Cargil C-3, using USA additive , and NG FO theres a few thats why i plan on testing testing. The container is 2.75 inch width and 3.5 inches height. I know the best thing to do is test until you cant test no more..LOL I just need a starting piont. So Im assuming that particular jar is ok for my candles, I just need to test the wicks and Fo then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 ...Cargil C-3, using USA additive... The container is 2.75 inch width and 3.5 inches heightFor NatureWax C3 + USA in that diameter/height jar, and 1 oz. pp FO, I would start testing with a CDN 10-12. I think the 12 will be the one, if we're starting a pool. Don't forget to burn all the way down when you test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
