Soya Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hello Can someone please help me? Which HTP wick is most like a LX 28 or Eco14. Would it be a HTP1212?Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I use both those wicks, and you are probably right on with that selection. I would have said HTP105 but the 1212 could be a good starting point.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 I just checked the stats of one of the wicks (LX 26) and it says it has a flame height of 2.2 inches. Wow... I thought the perfect candle had to have under 1.5 height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I just checked the stats of one of the wicks (LX 26) and it says it has a flame height of 2.2 inches. Wow... I thought the perfect candle had to have under 1.5 height.The 2.2 inches was under the standard test conditions. The test data are just to compare one wick with another, not to indicate what they will do when you use them. All the wicks are tested with the same wax.

Lightning Bug Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi. Went to the rusticesentuals chart and on other sites, also, I've seen square braid. It this the same as any that normally come tabbed and waxed under a name like LX, Eco etc? I probably should do some research, but it is easier to ask and have experienced candlers make it easier for me to understand. TIA.

I probably should do some research, but it is easier to ask and have experienced candlers make it easier for me to understand. TIA. BethSquare braid is different from all of the others.For decades there have been three kinds of candle wick -- flat braided, square braided, and cored.Flat braided comes in a plain variety that is normally sold in spools. Fancier types of flat braids are commonly available as wick assemblies, including HTP, CD, LX, and ECO.Square braid only comes in the plain variety and is normally only sold spooled.Cored wick has a rigid center with a woven sleeve around it. Originally the core was made of metal (lead, which isn't used anymore, and zinc). Now there are also paper and cotton cored wicks. The cored wicks are the ones where the sizes are described by numbers with dashes, followed by a letter. For instance, 36-24-24 Z. The letter is the type of core -- Z for zinc, P for paper, C for cotton. RRD is also a fancy cotton cored wick with a chemical treatment for acidic natural waxes and a special construction to make it curl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublon Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Your chart would be so handy In the meantime I have found this link in my favorites http://www.rusticescentuals.com/wickchart.html#topBrendaThanks for the chart:highfive: ....its very good, and basically what I wanted to do! I'll still try to get everything down side by side....It might be easier to compare. Plus I want to check different companies too. They don't all say the same thing one particular wick...Plus the fact sometimes the sizes are given for parrafin, and other times the sizes are given for Soy. So I need to try and sort that out!!

Marilyn Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 There was someone on one of the other boards, I think SouthernScentsation, that made a chart with just about all the wick types and offered to send a copy to whoever wanted one. She sent one to me. It is VERY helpful! I will see if I can find her again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
