psfponies Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Is there a general rule as to how far apart you should put the wicks when double wicking? Does it depend on the container size? I am using CS 16 oz tins which are 4" dia. by 2.4" high, they do have a raised part in the center for one wick so the closest I can put the wick are 2-1/8" apart in order to get them to be on a flat surface. That would put them about 1" from the edge. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey66 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I love double wicks but I will not double wick a tin. A while back I read reports of people claiming they caught on fire. CS has or had a double wicking tool that will show you how exactly they should be placed depending on the dia. of the jar. People seem to like it, I never tried it though.
