ScentsandMore Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I found my answer. Here is my dumb question for the day. Are you suppose to dip flat braid wicking in the wax before putting it in the mold or leave it like it is when you purchase it? Thanks.

eugenia Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 If you are using a wick pin, you will have to prime the wicking or you will never get it in the pillar. When I wick my molds, I don't prime. Some do, some don't, works both ways.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the scariest and most dangerous looking piece of chandlery equipment you ever saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have a wicking needle too lol it's like 4 inches long...heheheheI always prime my wick, no matter what I'm doing with it...for me it's just easier that way and i dont have to try to remember extra things...even tho i do take good notes sometimes a girl can forget things...

Unless, you wick your mold as Eugenia descirbed above. If you purchased "primed" wick and use a wick pin, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have a wicking needle too lol it's like 4 inches long...heheheheThat's nothing. My wicking needle is thinner than a pillar pin and 18 inches long. When I first laid eyes on it I was plagued with thoughts of what it could accidentally do to someone, so I stored it the safest way I could think of and it creeped me out every time I used it. Now I've kinda gotten used to it but it's still the scariest implement I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
