mguard Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I double wick my 10, 16 or 26 oz apothecary jars that are 4 inches in diameter? I currently use LS Zinc 21 or 23 but wanted to try HTP wicks to see if I increase the hot throw.Can anyone recommend what size HTPs I should use for these jars. I have in stock 83 and 93 -- but should I double wick with something smaller like 52, 62, 73 or are 83 or 93 the right sizes?. Thanks...your input is greatly appreciated!

Trappeur Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I'm using 2 #93 in the apothecary of the 10oz and 16oz jars.Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguard Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Have you tried 2 83s? How long does it take to get a full melt pool with 2 93s? I was going to start there but thought it may burn too fast? Thanks! MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hi MG, I'm so sorry, but when I posted the size wicks above I somehow didn't catch that you use a different wax than I do - which I use the c-3. I guess that won't help you now...sorry. Trapp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I haven't done exactly what you're doing, but since nobody has come along with an answer, let me point you towards those smaller sizes. I think two of the larger ones will be way too hot and smokey if you use two of them in a 4 inch container of 4627. My instinct would be to start testing with 2 x HTP-52 and go from there.
