annetteb Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 What is the best wicks and the best size of wick to use in cupcake candles? I am using: Eco PB, and for the wick I have tried the Eco 4,6&8. The 8 was way to big, the 6 seems to be to big too, but I really didn't get as much HT from the 4. Need HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 How are your cupcakes contained? If they are free standing on a heat proof plate I would look for a cool wick like an LX. The cupcake is pretty much the same system as a pillar candle. You want your melt pool to stay away from the outer wall of the candle but with enough area to provide ht. If your candle is in some kind of glass jar or holder, then try cdn wicks. HTHSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annetteb Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Thank you Steve, I will start looking for some LX. One more question for you, I am thinking probably a size 14, I came across one website that said size 18, I really don't know wicks very well, but know even less than nothing about LX. Cupcakes are freestanding on heat resistant plate, forgot to mention. Edited June 19, 2013 by annetteb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
