8 ounce hourglass jar


Recommended Posts

I just received my jars today & am going to start testing this week. I use a 70/30 blend wax & due to the wider part at the top and narrower at the bottom do I wick for the widest part? If I wick smaller is there a good chance it will catch up later on in the burn to avoid the bottom from getting too hot? I am clueless here as all of my jars are usually the same diameter from top to bottom. Any help is greatly appreciated. :embarasse

I believe the rule is to wick for the widest part but due to the shape (central constriction), the glass may heat more at that point once the wick drops to that level. So, you may be about to get away with a smaller wick. All you can really do it start testing.
