Grannyscandles Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I have a slab I bought to try but never did and now I am back at candle making and want to try some pillars with this. Can someone give me some guidance as to where to start with the wicking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 What do you have? What sizes are you looking to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grannyscandles Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I guess that would help huh? I was thinking votives and 3 inch diameter pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 If you make votives already, try what you normally use. On the other, try out flat braids, between 24 and 30, or some square braid (you'll have to play with the sizes) or LX. Depends on if you use FO too. b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I use zincs, so sometimes a 36 and other times a 44 work. Depends on FO and sometimes on color and fo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
