Stella1952 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) can I use #775I am not entirely sure what you mean, but if I am understanding you correctly, you have some of the same size HTP wicks you normally use but they are longer. Correct?The length is immaterial so long as it's long enough. The wick size is what matters. Buy some wicktabs and use the trimmed pieces.

Stella1952 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Here's the wick recommendations from Wickit.http://www.wickit.net/recommendations.html#p700Scroll down to the size HTP you normally use (you didn't mention what size...) and compare it to the Premiers up top...You WILL have to make a couple of testers to be sure the new type burns properly in your container.Why not just order some of the same wicks you normally use? It would be quicker and easier than testing a new wick for an order... Edited January 13, 2010 by Stella1952 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smart Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 thanks so much it says that I can use them just not sure about the soy is that for paraffin maybe I should just try a jar and see :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) There are no *rules* for the type of wax for a particular wick. If it works for you, use it. Have you been making soy candles long? Edited January 13, 2010 by Stella1952 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
